I’m a visual creature, as you all know, so for me to get sucked into a post with a lotta words is a pretty big deal. Ammie hooked me in the first few lines of one of her recent posts, Dear body*,
We have had a love-hate relationship since my childhood. You love me, while I hate you. I realize now that this has to stop. I have to stop abusing you, hating you, demeaning you. You don’t deserve it and I’m sorry for my choices that have made you the way you are.
If that hasn’t hooked you, well, then you might not have the same kind of issues. I can relate to Ammie, I am Ammie in this post. It was a gut wrenching read, as it so boldly went to that place we all need to go to reach the point of making a change. I’m not going to spoil it for you, since I think you should go read it for yourself. I’m just going to thank Ammie for putting it out there, and award her this well deserved, cute (and pink) little Perfect Post Award.
If you’d like to read more Perfect Posts, you can find a list of ’em at Mommak/aka/Kimberly’s and Lindsay’s place.

What a fitting post. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with my body my whole life.
Indigo’s last blog post..5.5 pounds
Thank you ma’am. This could not have come at a better time. I stepped on the scale after doing practically everything right this past week and I’m not seeing the results I was hoping for. I needed a reminder of that post and the award was the icing on top. MUAH! xox
Ammie is such a super writer! Love her posts. I never miss one!
Congrats to Ammie!
DeeJay’s last blog post..Oklahoma Weather!
you’re right…that so deserves an award. I think her approach is so much better than a resolution and I hope she gets there.
Renee’s last blog post..Hi & Bye!
