uptown... *soft smile*... i wish i had a "magic pill" to give you... or even some insightful words of wisdom...
and even if i did... i would feel like the the blind leading the blind as i have struggled with with the very same my entire life...
slowly but surely, over time, i can say that i have felt an improvement.
motherhood, marriage, and just an overall understanding of what is "real" versus my perceptions of what i "should be" has helped...
your statement brought a lump to my throat and a felt like a someone shoved a stick in my gut...
too many of us feel this way... and it incenses me beyond words... somehow, it's up to us women to change the "model"... and to quit allowing a handful or ego-centric clothing designers, advertising execs, pubescent porn-hound men and the like, dictate how we "should" look and/or feel about ourselves.
not sure how we're going to do that yet... but i'm hopeful.
thanks for being so honest and sharing... *warm smile*... and welcome...
