Fat-phobias

In the past 9 months or so, I have successful conquered 4 of my fat-phobias. I have more work to do but these 4 (all clothes related) have been tackled.

1) Showing my arms in public. I always had to wear sweaters before which is silly since I have plenty of arm tattoos to show off and cardigans are hot in 110 degree So Cal heat! I hardly ever wear cardigans now and if I do, most are short sleeved.

2) Wearing a 2 Piece Bathing Suit in public- I have not yet worn a true fatkini yet (lack of funds is the reason) but late last summer, I started wearing 2 piece bathing suits and now it is my first choice. I hardly ever wear my one pieces now. Last year I wore one on the beach and it was AMAZING. I cannot wait to do it again this year….. (working on booking a beach photoshoot now).

3) Wearing Short Shorts in Public- I was very nervous at first but I wore several pairs of  super short shorts in front of a bunch of guys while I was training to wrestle and…. nothing happened! I lived! I was afraid my belly was too big or that my thighs were too chunky but even if they are, too bad!

4) and last…. Going in public with no bra on- I always wear a bra in public because I need the support and I am in my 30’s and gravity is no longer on my side :) But today I felt like not wearing one. I only had to drop some packages off at the post office and return some library movies BUT I still went in public with a dress on and no bra and it felt so FREE.

What are some of your fat-phobias?

EDIT: I am adding one!

5) SKIN TIGHT CLOTHES. Conquered.

A couple of weeks ago….

I got a wave of comments about my eyebrows. Okay, yeah, I admit. Maybe I can do them better….. I always say there is room to improve yourself. If I still looked the way I did at 19…. Ha!

Since I have explained the heck out of why I do not have any, I figured I would grow them in to make a video blog post SHOWING what the problem was.

I told my boyfriend I was growing them in but since he had not seen me without make-up on them for 2 weeks…. he was kind of shocked by my REAL eyebrows last night, hahahha.(he is not a fan of them).

Needless to say, I now totally remember why they had to go in the first place and I have been obsessed with looking at peoples eyebrows lately- at the doctors office I was reading a fashion magazine and there were several high end shoots where the womens eyebrows were GONE (looked like post production removal but still).

I am going to give them another week or so to get fuller in the front.

I was born with fucked up eyebrows…. the middles will not grow and the ends are so low I always look like I am grimacing.
