Get to Know me Series: Day 13

Welcome back to Day 13 of my Get to Know me Series! I'm hoping to keep up with this and post EVERY day for 30 days, as a way of letting you into my life a little bit.
Day 13: Your favorite artist.

This is a three way tie.

The first would be the singer that I wanted to be growing up, and have listened to since her first album.

Yep. Britney. I know the girl's had problems, but what human being doesn't? And it's just that hers were so publicized that it made it worse. And I have yet to hear one of her songs that I don't like or don't end up liking and singing along to. And, yeah I know she has her ups and downs, but isn't she GORGEOUS?? Jealous.

Next, the band I have been listening to the longest.

Hanson. Make fun of me, go ahead, but they're not what you remember. At ALL. In fact, they're amazing. They sing, play, record, and produce EVERYTHING they make. And it's certainly not MMMBop anymore, their records are soulful and their lyrics are deep and meaningful. I just love them, and I hope they make music FOREVER.

And finally, the band I can't get enough of.

Paramore.

They're having some band troubles right now. And I hope they get through them, because I can't imagine not having them around. (Not to mention I've already been through that countless times with Dream, Danity Kane, Destiny's Child, etc. and I can't take losing another band to a breakup!) Not to mention Hayley is a serious Twilight fan, and that is bonus points! =)

Pinterest Day 13: Your opinion on your body and how comfortable you are with it.

Hmm. This is a seriously tough one. I'll just say this. I have no excuses. Yes, I was on birth control that made me gain weight, but I didn't do anything to stop it. Yes, I got off the birth control and got pregnant three months later, but since having Natalie I haven't done anything to lose it. (Not that I gained any with her because I didn't - I lost and then gained back, and ended up at the same weight beginning and end) Every time I start exercise, I do good for a few weeks or a month or two, and then give up. I don't eat healthy, and can't really afford to. (BAD excuse, I know.)

That being said, I'm surviving. I'm under 200. I'm over 190. I'm not happy about it, but when I put makeup on and clothes on and look in the mirror, I'm....satisfied. I think I look....ok. But photograph me? If it's a full body shot I hate it. If you don't give me time to prepare and suck as much in as I can, then I'm unhappy. I hate how big my boobs look in pictures and wish for a breast reduction. Then I think, "Well, dummy, if you'd just exercise you'd lose some of that."

So I guess I'll say, I'm comfortable....but not happy. And 99% of the time I'm ok with my body, and then there are days where I envy size 0's (like my best friend) and wish for a body like that.

But I'll get more into that later.
