Hi folks. The third assignment for Love EVERY Body focuses on our shoulders, arms and hands: 'This month's assignment is to talk about our shoulders, arms and hands. If you've ever had some kind of injury to an arm or hand which has prevented you from using it for a short time, you'll know for yourself that working arms and hands are a blessing, no matter what they look like. If you have the full use of both arms (and I'm not assuming you do) that's a bonus.'
I'm a little late in posting this, whoops! Anyway. I'll start by saying that I am blessed to have the full use of my shoulders, arms and hands; although I am occasionally bothered by RSI in my right shoulder, I can't complain really.
I don't really have any thoughts on my hands or shoulders, they're kind of just 'there'. Indifference I guess is the word I'm looking for. My arms on the other hand, well, two words...bingo wings. Yep, I know a lot of people have them, but I still hate mine. I would much rather my arms were fat and round than saggy; it's that horrible flappy lump of flesh that I can't stand. I have, however, made progress...I am now relatively comfortable with bare arms, most of the time. I don't feel that I need to cover them up or be ashamed of them, at least. So, whilst I certainly don't love my arms and don't think I could even say that I like them, they're...there.
