Okay, after reading my unfiltered rambling...Sarah,<br /><br />Okay, after reading my unfiltered ramblings, I need to apologize for my weirdness and goofiness. But here goes....<br /><br />Your quote: "pear-shaped I am" makes me think that you have an awesome opportunity to OWN IT! Don't let that crazy person have that much power over you! Only you have power to define yourself and love who you are. Don't give the power to someone who doesn't know you at all. When these things happen to me (and they do, by my kids at church and people driving by me as I'm walking and whoever...it's much more appropriate for me than it is for you...not that that's the point) - anyway, when these things happen to me, I totally think to myself in my brain, "You're right, I do have a fat bottom!" Now, I don't want you to think that I think you have a big butt because I think you are beautiful just as you are...tall and curvy with a presence that changes the dynamic of a room (in a good way). But it doesn't hurt to call it like it is. I think if you compare yourself to that person, maybe your butt is bigger than theirs. So what? What's it to them? You're right - they don't know you, they don't know what you've been through, and you probably don't want to know them anyway because they only look at life with a very shallow depth. That's their issue - their loss - not yours.<br /><br />Now, I just came from Yellowstone National Park. And when I saw these gianormous rocks and mountains and trees and animals, I felt pretty small. And I liked it. The big rocks made me feel like my insecurities about my large derriere are insignificant because God's creation is far bigger and grander than my extra poundage.<br /><br />Anyway, I don't know where I'm going with all that except I think if you can train your internal voice from saying, "Oh, crap...they said I have a big bottom" to saying, "Thanks for checking out my butt because I like it, and I like it big," you can feel much better about yourself. Because after all, your bottom is something you can love. It helps you sit comfortably (not everyone can say that), you are able to excrete bodily waste in the way the human body is physically supposed to (again, not everyone can say that), and it helped you give birth to three beautiful babes (most people can't say that). Own the butt! Love it! Let it be part of you that you love instead of part of you that you hate.<br /><br />Sending you love and good wishes whether you've lost 10 more pounds or gained 10 pounds. You are beautiful! Own it! :)<br /><br />BTW - I hope to see you Tuesday!<br /><br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103315456230808401.post-29685064751065936832010-08-26T12:02:10.682-05:002010-08-26T12:02:10.682-05:00Sarah

You have to let go of what other people think, which seems to be an issue with all of you Schaffners. I have been killing myself at the gym this week and really have been eating better and watching my portions. Why? Because I want to feel better for me, for Noah, for Matt. I could care less what people think of me, for the most part I am comfortable in my skin but I want to feel better. I want to have energy to play with my darling boy! Yes looking better will be a bonus but that is not what its about for me. <br />You need to find a way to be more comfortable with yourself and not beat yourself up so much. You are beautiful inside and out and you need to find a way to believe that and let yourself shine! <br />I kinda feel sorry for that kid because he is missing something in his life that he feels the need to take it out on other people. <br />I love youRonellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103315456230808401.post-52244884711715195762010-08-24T17:03:17.186-05:002010-08-24T17:03:17.186-05:00I am so sorry Sarah!

I do us...I've got alot of things to let go of. I do use my blog as a theraputic device. Some people would also probably wonder why I would share so much on it? It's my sounding board too. I'm sorry about that mean person- what a jerk. If it makes it any easier I was teased and bullied all through grade school and hs. Those same jerks made fun of my body as well- At one time I had about 30 warts on both of my hands and one on the tip of my nose that I eventually ripped off with a nailclipper- ouch! So you're not alone- I always wished I had a beautiful complexion like yours. We each have our downfalls. <br /><br />Thanks for letting me be the third wheel or Bean's friend at the parade and Culvers. I had fun!MichellefromRochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742394175379582611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103315456230808401.post-12646101343543149462010-08-21T22:16:34.658-05:002010-08-21T22:16:34.658-05:00You should check out my post from tonight about th...You should check out my post from tonight about the power of words.
