Reading your post made me realize how much sisters we are under the skin. My body's disgusting to me too. And my ex wanted it all the time (it seemed like all the time anyway). I remember when I really used to like my body, pretty much more than less anyway. I try sometimes to get that "me" back, and sometimes I do get glimpses if I try hard enough. Changing tack.. geez, girl, do you ever go to the public pool? The types of bodies I see there are incredible. We're all the same, but so different!!! And I have to admit I have some very anxious moments in places like that. THere's no way I have anywhere NEAR the body I really want. I shy away from mirrors. But, sometimes, when I'm feeling *good* (heh) then I can look in the mirror and make my body look and move in ways I really like. So, it's a matter of me inhabiting my body and the way I do it. Whoever said, "It's not the corpse, it's how you animate the corpse" or some such thing was Correct.
