let go

by mrsfatass on November 7, 2011

I have a great ass.

Yep, I said it. My ass? Looks fantastic. And as long as we’re on the subject of my fabulass, my shoulders are rocking it, too.

There is a definite upside to life changing stress wreaking temporary havoc in your life. A decreased appetite and increased reliance on exercise to stay sane. In the last week I have been complimented on my shoulders, taken a fantastic picture of my own butt, and slid into a pair of Zumba pants that I’ve owned since July but haven’t been able to fit into until now.

I’m hot. Hawt. Foyne. Phat. Damn good looking. And my ass looks fantastic.

I’m going to emerge from this haze. I promise you I will. And when I do? I’ll look as amazing on the outside as I feel on the inside. I think sometimes, as superficial as it may sound, appearances do matter. Hating my new haircut was made a million times worse by the fact that I felt ugly on the inside. On the flipside, seeing all of these positive changes in my body is starting to take the edge off of the ache in my chest.

Looking better? Is making me feel better. And I have had a lot of fun patting myself on the back for this ass. Seriously, if I thought I could get away with posting the picture I took of it, you know I would. It’s fantastic. It’s a Zumba ass. I can’t stop looking at it. For real. A better ass than the one I had when I was 16.

I’m not sure I’m done with downer posts. I don’t yet feel whole. But I also don’t avoid my own gaze in the mirror anymore, and that is a huge step.

I also ordered myself this shirt:

Zumba Tank

It says LET GO and feel the music. I want one in every color.

Oh, and? I ordered it in a smaller size. I’m going to look awesome in it.

I love this post. Can’t wait to see you in Baltimore again. This time I will bring a quarter to bounce off your ass. You are handling your haze and downtime with grace – you will be beyond brilliant when you emerge. xoxo

I can’t quite remember what it was you were eating, but I seem to recall about a year or a year and a half ago..your reaction to stress was to chunnel food from a can over the sink. Now your reaction is to exercise. Sue, you’ve come a long way baby.

I love you so much for posting this!! I’m so happy to see other mamas who love their badonks, as Kia calls them. I needed to read this, too. I’m a little heartbroken over my post-baby deflated derriere, so thank you for the motivation. There is going to be some SERIOUS Zumba action happening in this house right here. <3 Thank you thank you – and keep being proud! You've earned it and when you're proud, more women will be motivated and comfortable with being proud of themselves, too.

No fair! You can’t dangle the ass like that in front of the world without delivering an image for all to behold the beauty of the ass. PHOTO…PHOTO…PHOTO…PHOTO….PHOTO….
Did you know that when you type the word “photo” 5 times in a row, it starts to look like a foreign language? I just discovered that myself. Interesting….
