Sep. 19th, 2011 11:53 pmI'm not looking for validation or anything, and I really considered comment-blocking this post. It's just an observation, by me, about me, which is this:
Whenever I see a recent (last few years) picture of myself, I'm surprised and dismayed at how fat I've gotten. Because fat isn't in my body image. OTOH, we were recently showing Kylie pictures from 20 years ago, and I'm young/slim/attractive in those, and I didn't feel any more attractive then. In fact, I haven't noticed any change in my body image over the last 20 years, even as my body itself has changed.
