How important is your body image?
I'm too slim right now, but even when I'm a little "fluffier," as my husband calls it, I'm not sure that I have a great body image. I tend to be too self-critical and look in the mirror and wish I had bigger boobs or slightly shorter legs or a rounder butt. It's always something. I hate it that this is a struggle for me and so many other women. Guys dont struggle with this issue nearly as much. And I recently read that women of color don't either. Wonder where we get this? Is it from our mothers? My mom was the same way--overly hard on herself. My younger sister's theory is that we three girls inherited it from her. If I were able to look at myself without the poop-colored glasses (a term from a friend of mine who's about to become a practicing psychologist), I might be happy with the fact that I'm tall and reasonably proportional and have a fairly nice face. But instead I see the flaws.
