For the most part I like my body. Actually, I really love my body because I'm damn cute and move in a rather sexy way and I'm sensitive enough that everything feels WONDERFUL, but not so sensitive that pleasant things easily become unpleasant. I love to be touched as much as I love to touch. Touching is great!
The only thing I would change about my body is the unhealthy amount of excess weight I'm carrying simply because I'm only carrying it because of emotional issues. It's my great big emotional baggage in physical form. It's a real mark of having my shit sorted out when that baggage gets smaller. It's a real mark of being buried in shit when it gets bigger (as it has recently).
People are generally amazed to find out how much I like myself because it's all too clear how convinced I am that most of them see me through the eyes of the children that taunted me as a child and the men that hurt me throughout my life.
I love my body. I'm just not convinced that anybody else does.
