I think, and it's just me and my useless opinion, that people make entirely too much out of body image. I mean, I understand it I guess. That's the first thing one person notices about another, the way they look.
Me personally, I am five foot seven inches tall and I weigh about 135. My doctor thinks this is great, and I'm not terribly offended by it myself, but it is more than I have ever weighed in my life, and that includes when I was nine months pregnant with my daughter. And, after I gad her I went right back to 111 pounds, so my weight gain has been fairly recent, within the last year or so.
I mean, I personally think I look fantabulous at 135, I have a nice round rear, thick thighs and full breasts, but...I see so many young women who completely freak out about thier weight, and I don't know what men or young men think, but I think a skrawny little lady is not that good looking. There is nothin wrong with being slim, but there is also nothing at all wrong with the normal weight for your height, or, like the rest of the population, carrying around a few extra pounds.
I am just stumped by how important some people hold body image to be. I see it this way, a person either likes the way I look, or they don't. And either way, I could honestly care less. I am who I am and I'm generally happy with that, so, I will not change that for anyone.
People who depend on thier looks to get through life trip me out. I wouldn't want to be judged based on that. (only ugly chicks say that, right? Bwaha ha ha! Um, no...) I've been racking up credits and degrees for a while now, and I'm not perfect there either, but I do have a 3.8 GPA. I'm also tall, fit, long legs, blue eyes and pouty lips...I don't have to walk around with a paper bag over my head, lets put it that way.
My point is, even though I may think I'm doing alright, I'm sure not everyone thinks I'm attractive, that I am happy with myself anyway. I may not want to gain anymore weight and I hope I don't get any disfiguring scars or whatever, but I am ok right now, and even if that was to happen, I'd still live.
