It reminds me to be nice to myself and I even find the background refreshing. <br /><br />Now I would like to say that I fear it is assumed that girls should have body image issues. People have commented that I have an unusually positive body image even when I am in a particularly chubby or flabby mode and, while my friends say that they admire the fact that I don't overly worry about a bit of flab or a pat of butter (sometimes I am very fit and sometimes I shake) it is not really socially acceptable. Girls bond over body hating and I wish that we could change that and now I am off to the gym! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008460785507745922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317492664761657819.post-14729238872506963182010-02-11T14:14:17.735-08:002010-02-11T14:14:17.735-08:00I struggled with not having boobs, all of my frien...I struggled with not having boobs, all of my friends started getting boobs in junior high and I had nothing. I use to stuff my bra with shoulder pads and contemplated a boob job as early as the 9th grade. Eventually I developed my lil B cups and learned to be happy with them. Now I just get excited when I find a shirt that makes them look a lil bigger but have given up the thoughts of actually doing anything to enhance them.

There are things uI still would tweak, but I'm pretty content for the most part.Nikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717292550376561328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317492664761657819.post-89133014998791007892010-02-04T17:53:16.153-08:002010-02-04T17:53:16.153-08:00This is such a great post!

I grew up in L.A., the city of "beautiful people," so there were always opportunities to critique oneself. When I got married 15 yrs ago, I was what I refer to now as my "little girl" size. LOL! I am now FULL GROWN and FINALLY loving it. So on the flip side of wanting to gain weight, I now find myself in a constant battle with losing it. Go figure! But like you said, genetics are at play and my butt is literally "in the jeans!" LOL! But I've learned that the "inner man" is way more important. Don't get me wrong, I still like looking nice, but I've come to a place of contentment (sort of) with what God has given me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471902978061822137noreply@blogger.com
