That was his insecurity talking, nothing to do with you... and he had no right.<BR/><BR/>My body and I have always had a fierce love/hate relationship... but there's nothing about my bust that needs work, at least! I constantly expect others to judge me because of my body... actually, most of the time I think of 'me' and 'my body' as entities that are totally separate things that have unfortunately been forced by necessity to live together. And yet, I can honestly say that the things I have trouble with about my body I *totally don't notice* about other people's -- in fact, attraction to others, for me, has little to do with physical appearance. No, really. Weird double standards we set for ourselves, huh?<BR/><BR/>Isn't it the 'flaws' that we *really* love about other people anyway? I think that's real love: knowing someone's 'flaws' intimately and in great detail... and loving that person, not despite the 'flaws', but *because* of them.ThePurpleOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507327323958585470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15606440.post-59430422666991845902007-04-28T00:15:00.000-04:002007-04-28T00:15:00.000-04:00I've always been neurotic about my body.I wonder w...I've always been neurotic about my body.<BR/><BR/>I wonder why hurtful comments stay with us for so long.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160632952978584244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15606440.post-26347463786415244812007-04-27T14:22:00.000-04:002007-04-27T14:22:00.000-04:00Damn, he deserved an ass kicking for that and, kar...Damn, he deserved an ass kicking for that and, karma?, she's a bitch!Rachel (Crazy-Is)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05786360241354496729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15606440.post-46883463009513703342007-04-27T09:48:00.000-04:002007-04-27T09:48:00.000-04:00Bearette- yeah, I wouldn't exclude supermodels fro...Bearette- yeah, I wouldn't exclude supermodels from that group.<BR/><BR/>Society makes it awfully hard for women to feel good about being normal. Such extreme emphasis is placed on a woman's physical appearance above all else. Ever watched TV with the sound off? Especially music videos... wow. <BR/><BR/>Have you seen <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhCn0jf46U" REL="nofollow">this video</A> from Dove?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15606440.post-79447408029587363352007-04-26T22:26:00.000-04:002007-04-26T22:26:00.000-04:00Bearette, I've come to that conclusion too. And i...Bearette, I've come to that conclusion too. And it helps me to know that women that I think are physically beautiful still have things that they're self-conscious about. It actually gives me more confidence.<BR/><BR/>There are any number of things that I don't like about my physical self, my weight being the biggest (get it, biggest? lol) one of them. But I've learned that being self-conscious or embarassed about it isn't going to help anything. If I still present myself with confidence about who I am, then people usually treat me the same in return. So sometimes I just have to fake my mojo until I have it for real.<BR/><BR/>Just my two cents. ;)This suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467903126294690273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15606440.post-37612778563676892382007-04-26T17:50:00.000-04:002007-04-26T17:50:00.000-04:00What a jerk!I came to the conclusion that all wome...What a jerk!<BR/><BR/>I came to the conclusion that all women (except maybe the supermodels) have body issues.
