I'm sure you're beautiful! I'd like to add 20 pounds. I think women are much more attractive when they look like women and have curves. I used to have those, and I felt more comfortable like that, even though it wasn't runway skinny. Of course, in the days when I was that way, I worried about being too fat. Frankly, at the end of my pregnancy almost 21 years ago, I WAS fat. Like I said, it's always something.

I've been thinking about this all evening. I even called my mom. She said she definitely had what we now call "body image" issues when she was young. She was very pudgy as a teenager and then got obsessed about it and lost a lot of weight when she went away to college. She said "I feel pretty certain I had a mild case of anorexia, but this was the 50s, and so there wasn't a name for it then." That sorta opened my eyes.
