Body Image

I've been thinking about body image a LOT lately. Here is just one blob that I wrote a while back that I wanted to get out of my binder, so I am posting it here. It is very hard for me to watch extremely beautiful women label themselves with negative terms. At first I was angry at them for criticizing their size 0-1 waistline and their beautiful hands and face. Especially because they look so good. They are flawless in my eyes. It is frustrating because I have so many more things "wrong" with my appearance than they do. That is when I realized the big problem. I am comparing! Although they are beautiful, they are too. A while back a male blogger posted about The Disease Called Perfection. This post was a beautiful articulation of what many people are feeling in life. I am trying to change my perspective on things, but it is difficult in the world we live in. So, in good measure... I am sorry to all the beautiful women that I get mad at because you are beautiful. I'm sorry for hating on you. I'm sorry that you probably have difficult things in your life that I don't know about.  I'm sorry that I don't give enough love to you so you start feeling better about yourself. I'm just sorry. I'm especially sorry to all my friends that I don't take the chance to tell you that you are beautiful.
