Though, I wouldn't say I ever hated my body, I mainly just never found it good enough. There were always aspects that I was ashamed of and wanted to hide. I remember being just a kid of twelve or so when I was told that I needed to exercise because my thighs were jiggly and not muscular enough. So, I was very thin, but that still wasn't good enough. I also needed muscle definition to be okay. Then as I got older my jiggly butt became the focus of my belief that I'd be pretty "if only" thoughts, and then my thighs joined in. As I've aged, though, I've seen the same thing you have. I look back at pictures and think, "What the heck? Why was I ashamed of my body? It was beautiful." And like you, I've decided that I'll just love it now (or pretend to in the hopes my mind believes me) because I'm gonna love it in a few years when I've got more wrinkles and saggy skin and whatever else I'm loathing about my body any given second. Anyway, yes, great post! -- Rachel Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321593240627877902.post-37876846252303768332013-04-18T15:22:54.223-04:002013-04-18T15:22:54.223-04:00I commented when I first read this blog.
