Last month I entered a competition at the yoga studio where I teach yoga-lates. I was so determined to take more classes than anyone else.  It so reminded me of the struggle of all women & their bodies. Yes, I wanted the prize of free clothes but I also wanted to kick those skinny yogi’s butts. I don’t look like the other yoga instructors… never will, not my body type. But I realized that when that demon inhabits us – we will only feel better about ourselves when we “beat” another woman.

Sick I know. I bet you’ve been there – if not then you are a better woman than I am! It felt good, though, to still the demon & re-gather my own appreciation of my body. By the way, I came in second.
