I hate my stomach, even if I so get rid of all the weight I want to I am going to have flabby skin and stretch marks.
by Genny Lim
Sometimes I see reflections on bits of glass on sidewalks
I catch the glimmer of empty bottles floating out to sea
Sometimes I stretch my arms way above my head and wonder if
There are women along the Mekong doing the same
Sometimes I stare longingly at women who I will never know
Generous, laughing women with wrinkled cheeks and white teeth
Dragging along chubby, rosy-cheeked babies on fat, wobbly legs
sometimes I stare at Chinese grandmothers
Getting on the 30 Stockton with shopping bags
Japanese women tourists in European hats
Middle-aged mothers with laundry carts
Young wives holding hands with their husbands
lesbian women holding hands in coffee-houses
Smiling debutantes with bouquets of yellow daffodils
Silver-haired matrons with silver rhinestoned poodles
Painted prostitutes posing along MacArthur boulevard
Giddy teenage girls snapping gum in fast cars
Widows clutching bibles, crucifixes
I look at them and wonder if
They are a part of me
I look in their eyes and wonder if
They share my dreams
I wonder if the woman in mink is content
If the stockbroker’s wife is afraid of growing old
If the professor’s wife is an alcoholic
If the woman in prison is me
There are copper-tanned women in Hyannis port playing tennis
Women who eat with finger bowls
There are women in factories punching time clocks
Women tired every waking hour of the day
I wonder why there are women born with silver-spoons in their mouths
women who have never known a day of hunger
Women who have never changed their own bed linens
And I wonder why there are women who must work
Women who must clean other women’s houses
Women who must shell shrimps for pennies a day
Women who must sew other women’s clothes
Who must cook
Who must die
In childbirth
In dreams
Why must women stand divided?
Building the walls that tear them down?
Jill-of-all-trades
Lover, mother, housewife, friend, breadwinner
Heart and spade
A woman is a ritual
A house that must accommodate
A house that must endure
Generation after generation
Of wind and torment, of fire and rain
A house with echoing rooms
Closets with hidden cries
Walls with stretchmarks
Windows with eyes
Short, tall, skinny, fat
Pregnant, married, white, yellow, black, brown, red
Professional, working-class, aristocrat
Women cooking over coals in sampans
Women shining tiffany spoons in glass houses
Women stretching their arms way above the clouds
In Samarkand, in San Francisco
Along the Mekong
I was originally told this was Livedo Reticularis, however it appears to have been Dermatitis herpetiformis caused by Coeliac Disease. 8 months gluten free and it's gone. Some scarring left, but mostly all clear.

I debated doing this for a while, but figured...eh, this is reality.
The tummy is still a bit doughy, the stretch marks are staring to fade, and I'm still coming to terms with how different things are at the moment in regards to my body.
I 've lost about 20 pounds and have about 15 to go before reaching my pre-pregnancy weight.
Well i'm not so comfortable about stretch marks but obviously no one is. If someone can't except them than they obviously don't deserve your time.To my friends & the girls who look up to me, this is hopefully gonna help other chicks who have them and know its ok to.
Nearly 18 weeks pregnant. My body is at this weird in-between stage, where I look fairly pregnant later in the day. But first thing in the morning (this pic) I look almost like my old self, with just some slight padding. My boobs look squashed because they are, I need a new bra!!
Even though I look good here, I really have gained a decent bit of weight already. I was actually worried that I might have been gaining too fast, but then I keep waking up to this body. I honestly expected pregnancy to be much much different than this... yea yea, I know the belly is coming, but I look forward to that part... I just meant, I thought I was going to balloon up all over, but I'm not. VERY happy about that.
I put the original photo in the comments, you can see that I have some stretch marks on my hip area, those are actually from puberty/growth spurt. Unfortunately this might mean I'll also get some pretty visible stretchmarks once my belly is full blown!

Frighteningly this is how my skin has stretched by week 28. Pregnant women usually stay pregnant for 40 weeks. My due date is actually February 27th, 2009. Will my skin make it? I do not know.
You may have seen Apples website ad, too, you may have seen Johns version of the iPod Shuffle on denim, so... inspired by John I created a tribute photo.
Included with middle age midriff, stretchmarks and an umbilical piercing that seldom sees the light of day.
Finally I'll bare it all. No makeup on my flushed swollen face, and a belly covered in surgery scars and stretchmarks...
Only god knows what took me to something like this today. I am not feeling particulary sexy or anything. My hair is a mess, i need a shower and right now i am sitting on my pajama, a half chewed old cardigan (thanks to my dog) and with a messy ponytail.
I guess that i am just tired of listening, reading and generally seeing that just because i am a big girl (plus size here) i cannot be sexy. Well, excuse me, but i can! I may not be everyone's idea of what is sexy, hot and desirable, but to most i am not repulsive, ugly or something that you have too look away from.
If i feel sexy, i am sexy, and i will not allow anyone, mostly society to tell me otherwise just because my pant size happens to be a few numbers above what is expected to be "normal".
If this makes you uncomfortable, feel free to kiss my curvy ass!
Day 33 of 365 Days/ Flickr Group Roulette - My Belly Hole
What a day to choose to start participating in Flickr Group Roulette! Portraits of your belly button to be submitted to the group "My Belly Hole"
Not overly keen on my belly, it's been around a bit, but finally starting to get a bit more back into shape. I think this self-portrait challenge for a year is probably going to be working on my own self-image and how I see myself. I would say that I am normally camera shy, but having to constantly do these images, some more "exposing" myself than others is opening me up.
So I have a confession. I am addicted to photoshop with this 366....I have a lot of freckles that I sit here and edit out, I have stretchmarks (as you now see) that I have hidden....for a long time.
Here I am in all my glory keeping it real...for as long as I can....
Funny note though - geez my bellybutton is hairy LOL!!! augh this is giving me anxiety attacks!
A pregnant woman. Exodus 21:22-25
“If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Exodus has a few obvious character candidate, but the passage that stood for me was the first mention of an eye for an eye etc in the bible. Surprisingly this was in the context of a pregnant woman. On first reading, and as a result of using the NIV, it sounds as if the woman's husband can demand punishment as a result of serious injury to the unborn baby. However other translations, and the footnote in the NIV, refer to miscarriage so I guess the serious injury must relate the the pregnant woman, rather than her unborn. The "New Life Version" made it clearer in this instance. I think God still cares for the unborn, but I guess, pre-ultrasound, it is harder to assess whether injury is a result of the fight or otherwise.
Another thing that struck me is that there is no question of a man hitting a pregnant woman intentionally. There are a couple of chaps having a bust up in a bar, and she gets caught it the cross-fire as one has his face rearranged with a lump of wood. They really must have been going some! So next time you're in a fight, please mind you don't hurt any pregnant women.
The photo
Unfortunately I didn’t have any obviously pregnant women available for the photo, so I’ve had to make do with my wife’s stretch marks and deformed belly button left over from her pregnancy with our little girl. I think they’re rather pretty!

I've got plenty of stretch marks. It started off as just one and then they began to multiply! But it's all worth it at the end. Need to make room for baby.
After much deliberation and criticism from both families, we've officially decided to stick with the name Calvin. This is how it went with my mom last week:
**Scene
Visiting Mom & Dad for home made chicken enchiladas.
mom: [Greets me with a kiss and hug. Rubs the belly] "Hi baby Calvin! So have you decided on a name?" (I'm assuming she thought it was just a phase)
me: "Yes, we are sticking with Calvin." [side note: for months we have been calling the baby Calvin so it shouldn't have been a surprise]
mom: "Calvin?!" she says in a disappointed tone. "Why Cal..."
me: before she could finish I started laughing and replied in a nonchalant tone, "Yes mom, we are sticking with Calvin whether you like it or not so you better get use to it. Just remember who the parents are. Remember, Grandpa did the same thing to you. He told you to name me after grandma instead of Jennifer, remember? You were reluctant to but you gave in."
**What I've learned from all this: Next time, I'll just wait to disclose the name to family members till I fill out the birth certificate. It's not up for debate or a majority vote people.
I think my breastfeeding days might be over after nineteen months. We've had two mornings without feeds (he's been down to just the one feed a day for a while) and I think this is it.
I'm damm proud of myself and my boobs for getting me this far, breastfeeding has been the most amazing experience and for the most part has been problem free. It's also given me new skills, having trained as a peer supporter, made me new friends from the breastfeeding groups and made me proud of my body for the first time in my life.
Thanks to all the BT girls who inspired and helped me, I hope that I can in some small way return the favour to new mums along the line.
So this is it, until tomorrow of course, when I reserve the right to change my mind in the face of an angry toddler chasing me around the house yelling "BOooooooooooooooBEEEEEEEEE" at 5am.
In the meantime bring on the guilt free gin.
