There were a few conversations in chat that got me thinking about this, actually...and then an almost identical conversation at work. Just seems like we're trained, almost, to hate our bodies. I remember reading an article a few years ago (don't remember where, or by whom, though), that made the point that women will be so critical of themselves, it's ridiculous-- you'd never, ever talk to a friend of yours the way you talk to yourself in the mirror.
Something else I like -- my neck, and the curve of my collarbone. Especially since I've lost weight... it just looks so...I don't know...feminine. I have a new appreciation for v-neck shirts, now
