I totally know what you mean MK. I have been in that same dang line. There were times in my life when I was so down on my appearance that I couldn't leave the house. It was very much linked to depression, and once the depression was treated with meds, and gobs of therapy, I could see things a little differently. Mind you, I don't LOVE standing next to gorgeous thin women, but, I have a different attitude now.
The thing is, that even gorgeous people have poo in their lives. You know? You can look at some gorgeous creature with perfect thighs and a flat tight belly, but for all you know she could cry into her pillow at night missing her deceased grandma, or dad. Or maybe although she's laughing with her girlfriends, she really wonders if they actually like her for HER, or if they just like cuz she popular. Or maybe she's standing there in line scared she might be pregnant. OR or or...ya know?
And the next woman in line might be 80lbs over weight, but at home, her little boy is anxious to see her, and she's thinking how she can't wait to see him, and a grin is about to burst across her face! You know?
Please don't despair MK. And please tell us more about you. em
