Body Issues

[navy_brat_1972]

My whole life I have prided myself on not caring what others think of me. I care what I look like and, to a degree, how I present myself in public. Of course everyone does. We all want to make a good impression. But to really care? Never have. I’ve always been me and people are going to accept that or not

I had body issues as a teenager. I look back now and wonder why. I was thin, but I thought I was too fat.

Now, I have a completely different set of body issues. I have a stomach, my arms are fat, my boobs aren't identical, I seem to break out at the drop of a hat etc... (I seriously have so many things to list and I do not want to bore you!)

And I think I'm the only person that really notices these things. But I obsess about them every day. I rarely wear dresses, because I feel they show off my stomach. I sit there and try to adjust my boobs so they look identical (which, honestly, NO ONES boobs are identical...I KNOW this and yet, it still bothers me to the point where I feel everyone can notice the slight difference). I don't like to wear anything sleeveless, because I feel I have these mammoth arms. I almost hate looking at pictures of myself (I've recently gotten better at this one) because I'll notice everything and wonder why no one else does.

Bah, look! I've just ranted enough to warrant an entirely new post! :)

But, I think we all have body issues. Some things are justified and others are completely ridiculous, but they bug us just the same. I am forever trying to hide/lose/be okay with my issues, but they're there and they drive me crazy and sometimes I wonder why I can't be as amazing as my friend/family memeber/famous person etc...
