Self image assessment

Perhaps if this group were a video connected one, we could 'workshop' on body

image issues. But that probably would be uncomfortable for many anyway.

I have been thinking about the terms I use when I think of my body. Heavy, fat,

dumpy, disproportionate, sagging, etc. are what usually pop up first. Always

negative, so that I can know where to 'work' on - aarrrghh! Like HOW can I see

'how much I WEIGH'?!? There's no LED display built into my forehead nor tape

measure permanently affixed to my hips either. The numbers that a scale, clothes

size and even blood test results are only indicators, not absolute border of

'good/bad' by which I ought to JUDGE my own self and body. And when I feel

(think) that others are seeing me in a negative way, is that 1) the truth or 2)

a reflection of THEIR wants/needs/self judgment??

I've come to chose using comfort as my guideline, not an EXternal thing like

weight (from a scale). I also have given good thought to what my body IS and how

it (me really) has and continues to function and support me in my life. What

could be so bad about that? And if my 'figure' isn't in the Hollyweird desirable

category should I kill myself in the process of forcing it into what it NEVER

will be? And why the heck must it?!?

Diet demons have cousins - body boogie men! Time to tell them to Back the FAT

off too.
