Heather Says It Best
Heather says:Another in my series of thoughts about our bodies and image.
I cannot be ME because ME is not acceptable. I cannot be beautiful, because beautiful is much smaller than this. I cannot speak for fear of judgement, cannot see for fear of the truth.
Fat. Chubby. Obese. Big Girl. “Curvy”. What do any of these mean except not enough, not right, not good, not beautiful?

I love this picture and I love the purpose of it. There is no way anyone would should think you are anything less than magnificent though, you look amazing and always take an amazing photo.
Love it.

*hugs*
Thanks Wondy, I love you too!!!
I should also be careful to say that Mr. Pants adores every inch of me.
I'm always bitching about how curvy I am...for exactly the reasons Heather stated. It infuriates me that I let myself feel bad about my body.
I love that picture too. Excellently put, Heather!
What bothers me is that if I tell my wife she is beautiful she tells I'll full of it. This is true for anyone who compliments a woman. We need to start some kind of grassroots revolution where people actually value each other for what they really are and what they think they need to be. The next time you think that you need to look like the magazines and adverts you should think of this.
Come on now ladies. If you could see yourself through the eyes of those around you it might just surprise you how beautiful you really are.
