Body Drama

Reading Body Drama reminded me of how self conscious I was as a teen about how I looked.
Often times, dealing with my own body was a big part of establishing identity. Think I always wished I had looked better and always adored other girls who I thought much better looking that I was. That complex went beyond just body, and the whole fashion thing, and worrying about what to wear, and how I'd look was such a big deal. Because those stuff were translated into how confident I was about myself.

Surprisingly or not too surprisingly, this angst still continues... I guess it's an universal human thing. I still struggle with my acne problems. I still wish I were taller, better looking, or even thinner! And have problems with some parts of my body.... I admit that I feel this way more so, as I get older. ): A few years back, I starved myself to weigh as light as 93 pounds, and gained back to my normal weights.... but it's tempting to be like that again. Thankfully, I try to gain it though workout now.

I understand that bottom line, there is issue of insecurity when it comes to obsession with body.
Constantly comparing ourselves to others, and trying to keep up with latest fashion or trends....
We, especially women are consuming by that. And I see that happening to men too.
It'll be extremely important to be able to accept and feel happy about who we are and what we look like, because eventually every one of us is different and unique.
