Growing up you develop hang ups and as a teenager I was no stranger to hang ups.
I had hang ups about my height, my fang teeth and my victorian tum!
What with all the other teenage angst stuff such as teenage spots and boys packing you in... being a teenager could be crap at times.
When I reached my twenties I left behind a few hang ups but had gained a few too. For some reason I became self conscious about my boobs, I always felt that they were too big for my little self, if ever I passed a shop window and caught sight of myself, the tune 'working 9 til 5' would creep in to my head!
Of course they did have their uses, for example when you are trying to get served in a busy bar or your car breaks down.
I once went on a date and throughout the whole main course the guy just stared at my boobs the entire time, for me not to stick around for pudding means a seriously flawed date!
Even at school all the lads used to wait at the finish line during the 100/200 metres race that the girls were doing, I thought they were being great mates cheering me and the other girlies on but many years later a few of the lads informed me it was because they loved to watch all the girls who had boobs run!!
Now I'm 40, six kids Kim has to be realistic about such things, I know no amount of inner core exercises will help my stomach and that my fang teeth will be eventually be replaced with dentures and I suppose I should also embrace my boobs before they are hanging down like a wrung out pyramid tea bag!
Sometimes when I am all glammed up
I look at myself and think 'not bad...I could still pull Declan should he have his Vodka Vizors on'....however on a bad day, what with the victorian tum combined with the height thing, I reckon I could be mistaken as a close relative of the pot bellied pig!
However I snap myself out of it, put a smile on my face and live my life.
Life is far too short to be obsessing over your looks, live life, make the best of yourself, enjoy life!
Although God please can you make me look like Marilyn Monroe next time
Amen
