I have to respond to your blog post on body image for several reasons. One, I just joined a Gym for the very reason of body image. I have always been very thin. In my teens I was 115, in my 20’s I was 125, my 30’s I was 135… well, now I’m in my 40’s and you can kinda guess my weight. I have certainly felt “not so good” about myself. It’s mostly belly fat but it’s ugly in my eyes. Even though I’m told it’s not as bad as I make it out to be, I feel a little less confident about myself. Either way, your story reminds me of this stupid daytime show I saw once a long time ago like Jerry Springer or something stupid where they had these women competing against each other for the audiences approval for who was the hottest person. One was not bad looking visually and the other was quite large. Well, the large woman’s personality was so uppity and quite sure of herself that the audience just LOVED her. The other woman, the one that was the thinner, better looking one, didn’t have quite the same personality and no one found her as interesting, so, needless to say, the heavy woman won, hands down! Even I was rooting for her!! Definitely sheds new light on appearance. So I have to say “Thank you” for this post. You are quite awesome in your own right.
