Showing Flesh Too Much Sometimes IS Too Much

So I'm walking down the mall, which here is VERY small and I really only go there to get out of the heat and see my girlfriends at See's Candies, and lo and behold but there are girls all over the place, young, old, in the middle, showing their midriff...and it's UGLY.

What I wonder is, "Do they actually think they look pretty showing off that flesh tire?"

Now, I've got a tire of my own, mind you, however, I do not SHARE it with the entire state of CALIFORNIA! I mean, "HELLOOOOO!" God Love these poor gals, but really, it's a fright to behold.

I have also had SIX KIDS! YUP. I have. I am CRAZY about them. They are a BLAST and man...I have seriously earned my tire...which by the way is NOT going to be permanent. I finally had that talk with myself: "uh rachel, eating a bunch of chocolate and making cookies and cakes all the time isn't helping the flesh tire very much...your workouts are GREAT...but you are undoing your hard work...blah, blah, blah..." So, the last few days I've had GREAT eating days.

You know what I mean?

So, to the flesh tire babes, the michelin girl, the husky mama, the "some guys like us fuller figured," yes, you have cool clothes and yes you may be young, but remember, often times LESS REALLY IS MORE. Have some SELF and OTHER respect and dress in a way that really accentuates what you have that's beautiful; your heart, your voice, your mind, your spirit, your future, your goals, your thoughts, your kindness, your laughter, your craziness, your uniqueness...forget showing off flesh.

The bottom line is, girls dress that way for attention, usually from guys, and if you get a guy who wants a girl who dresses like that, you will end up with a guy that won't stick with you for long enough to take care of the business he started in the back seat.

I love my sistahs...and my daughters...and I want you to take care of yourselves. You are TOO SPECIAL to be sharing too much too soon.
