My body hates me, or Conversations With My Navel

Sep 23, 2009 23:39

I hate dieting.

I hate the mysogynistic attitudes pushing women into looking a particular way to please men, and the bitchy fashion crap perpetuated by women too. I believe that healthy bodies are beautiful, whatever the shape and size (and the range of shapes and sizes among my partners and exes demonstrates this just fine). Aesthetically, I love ( Read more... )

Oh dear. I can sympathise. *hugs*

Ta, though I was hoping more for a chuckle. I hope your knee isn't grumbling too much, though.

*cuddles*

I'm fine. Yes our bodies can be silly. Heh.

*cuddles you with crutches*

I'd give you a brand new knee or one of mine if I could.

Re: *hugs* emanix September 23 2009, 23:31:24 UTC

Heh, detachable body parts for the win!

Re: *hugs* uberredfraggle September 24 2009, 00:11:42 UTC

Want my right knee? ;)

Re: *hugs* emanix September 24 2009, 00:50:27 UTC

Thankyou for spotting the lighter side - I added 'humour' to the tags for a reason! :)

Hmm, that's a good point about the vitamin thing.
I'm generally pretty hot on the nutrition front, and this body is actually pretty good at letting me know stuff like 'today i need IRON, how about some spinach, or a nice steak?' but it has been harder lately when I'm not cooking for myself very often. I still think giving a body less energy than it wants is *always* going to make one feel a bit crappy, but it's probably not helping.

Thanks for the thought!

prolificdiarist September 24 2009, 08:48:02 UTC

Thirded!

(Also, janieluk, your other comment above made me laugh lots).

emanix, looking forward to seeing you again soon. :)

Heh, it was janieluk's post that prompted me to screen the thread rather than delete it entirely in my morning forehead-slapping session, since it made me chuckle too.

Coming to Polyday?
