the_siobhanI've been thinking a lot lately about issues of body image and such. Mostly because I don't think I know anybody who is completely content with their own body.
So I put the question to you. Do you like your body? What things do you like about it? What would you change about it if you could?
I'm still trying to decide how I would answer those questions...

Date: 2004-06-03 08:04 pm (UTC)I have many many body issues and insecurities. But I think I have nice legs. I do alot of walking, so they're rather strong. And a good butt, tho' I keep that hidden most of the time with long shirts, baggy pants and stuff. One has to be close to me to get to see the booty.
I'd like to change a number of things, but to be honest I'm vaguely scared that if I did, I might find that I'm still just as insecure, still dislike aspects of myself just as much. It sounds silly, but I think that fear really holds me back alot from trying to change my appearance. The idea that a physical manifestation is easier to dislike than a character flaw or psychological issue that were to become more apparent if I changed my appearance.
