Contemplating some kind of 'post naked pictures of yourself' revolution.
People think my body is fine and I've nothing to worry about, which I don't coz it's only a body, but I just think that... I dress well, to mostly hide my lumps and bumps, but even then, no-one has seen my actual naked body and the imperfections that lie underneath the clothes. And for one thing, I can tell you I have a lot more cellulite on my arse than the vast majority of you. My arse is my namesake coz it just looks like a craterful moon.
I wouldn't want it all to be about 'oh but it's beautiful anyway~' because realistically, nah, it's not. But what I *would* want is people to realise that you're stuck with it so get used to it (in a proactive way) and also, yes, everyone is insecure about *something* but even people who you think would have no reason to be insecure about that aspect of themselves really does coz they are gross in places.
I'm also not talking arty, hot, empowering 'I'm not a stick' pictures, because body image is about so much more than shape. I'm just talking factual pictures that obvs you're semi alright with and that you can kind of use for ... feature comparison?
I'm fine with my body, not because it's nice, but because it's not really relevant. The only think I kind of actively like about myself is my hands. But I think it's sometimes helpful to kind of break yourself down a bit and think 'wow actually, I only like my hands, but I still know I'm an awesome person' and it makes you realise how little each part of your body matters (oh I hate my thighs/stomach/etc) because, as a whole, you rawk.
Okay I'm hungry now and this makes no sense because I am not articulate.
ETA: Oh, I like my boobs as well, since I now know that it's normal for them to be hella uneven in sizes. So that's kind of what I'm talking about in some senses. You can kind of. Get more comfortable because. You know what's common and what isn't.
Thoughts?
