What's up, you guys? And welcome back to another episode of your favorite aunties pie cast. Why I feel like you so far away from you sitting in the same place and I understand it. It doesn't be. I didn't feel like that way before. Not move it. Okay. It's just my body just feels different right now. It just feels like it's not the same. How do you feel about your body? I love mine. Well, I love mine too. Yeah. Yeah, so I know we were talking before we haven't done just kind of whole body episode in a little while. So what's going on? What's going on with your body?

There's a lot going on with my body.

It's the light.

I feel like I didn't start it flashing.

Oh girl, please.

No, I'm serious, friend.

I'm not even joking.

You know, I'm real cold nature.

So I'd be hot.

That might be hormones.

It couldn't.

That could be hormones.

It could be. I didn't notice I had some night sweats.

And I think it's like just hormonal fluctuations. And then I feel like I feel like I've been up and down in my weight, like I would drop a lot of weight. And then I feel like I didn't start again in your back. So my body is just different. And I don't know what's going on. Just getting older. Mm-hmm, just getting older.

You know what, has been really important for me is health.

Health has been really important for me is health. Mm-hmm. Health has been, it's always been like important to me because I've always either had a gym membership or I was, you know, playing sports outside. I used to do a kickbox in class. I've done like all kind of stuff. So it's always been of importance, but now it is very high importance. One, because of just watching other people and the things that have happened to them, your body be doing stuff. And if there's anything that I can control, I am going to control it. And so it has been even more important for me now to be like, like, no, man, I'm taking care of this temple. I am taking care of it. It's my responsibility. I gotta do it.

How has your body image changed? Yeah, so before I definitely had some element of body dysmorphia. Yeah. What I saw in the mirror was not. was not what was out there in real life.

And I don't know if that just came from about to date myself, but you know, we used to have like magazines. You know what I mean? And so, and then when we were coming up, it wasn't like the volumptuous thing was in. It was like the J-Lo, the runway model. That was the body to have. And I never had it.

Yeah.

And so I definitely went through seasons where I did not like what I had. And I thought that it needed to be different. And I wanted it to be different. And it is definitely now in my 30s where I'm like, I got what I got. And what I got is good. Yeah. Yeah. What I got is good. And it's working and what is up prior to me

is just not the same as what it was.
