Typical girl talk

I was flipping through the VS Swimsuit catalog a couple of weeks ago and felt this surge of desire to go out and buy a swimsuit. That feeling quickly died after I looked down at my eyesore of a body. With stretchmarks, linea nigra, and discoloration still visible, who wouldn't feel self-conscious? And that's only my stomach.

But all hope is not lost. I figured a little time at the gym and a tube of Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy might just be the solutions to some of my insecurities and I'll be ready to make another attempt to come out of my hermit shell. I'll probably lone ranger it to the beach though cuz seriously, have you seen my friends? They make me want to move to the Middle East so I have every reason to stay covered up.

And no, this post is not a cry for reassurance. No one really knows what a hot mess my body looks like to begin with, so it'll continue to be under construction until further notice.
