Irony

My hubby asked for the girls' sizes and measurements so that he can pick up some local fashion for them.  Kendra is very much like her dad, she has a very slender frame and long limbs.  Kimberly, while being much taller, has a similar body build to mine.

I can't count the number of times I have wished to have either of their bodies, but especially Kim's because I think it would be easier to maintain.  Anyway, in taking her measurements last night, I realized her waist and hips measure the same as mine did when I was 17 years old.  The irony comes in knowing that when I was that size I thought I was fat!! and  how much I wish I was that size now.

Why is it that as females, we seldom are satisfied with our bodies?
