So wish I were kidding

I went home for Easter, and had a fabulous time. Will try to post pictures soon. It was actually quite hard to force myself back on that plane to Miami. Luckily, it has been an incredibly busy week, so no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself.

After a crazy day at work on Tuesday, I headed to the gym to meet my trainer - as I do every Tuesday night. However, this night was a bit different. I walked into the locker room, and it had been taken over by cheerleaders. So not kidding. Everywhere you looked, there was a 20 something year old woman with perfect bodies in some state of undress. While this may be every guy's dream, it is not exactly the dream of any woman I know.

They were at the gym to attend one of the dance classes. So as I am hurriedly trying to change into my gym clothes without exposing a single inch of my less than perfect body, I got to hear what 20 year old cheerleaders talk about in dressing rooms. I watched and listened as one after one, they stood in front of the mirror and pointed out their perceived flaws to each other. This halter makes my arms look big, can you believe how wide my hips are, my legs are huge in these tights, etc. etc. Turns out, they are not so much different than the rest of us.

It did make me wonder - is there a woman a live that is truly happy with her body?
