Thats the key, you know, confidence. I know for a fact that if you genuinely like your body, so can others. It doesnt really matter if its short, tall, fat or thin, it just matters that you can find some things to like about it. Even if that means having a good laugh at the bits of it that wobble independently, occasionally, thats all right. It might take you a while to believe me on this one, lots of people dont because they seem to suffer from self-hatred that precludes them from imagining that a big woman could ever love herself because they dont. But I do. I know what Ive got is a bit strange and difficult to love but those are the very aspects that I love the most! Its a bit like people. Ive never been particularly attracted to the uniform of conventional beauty. Im always a bit suspicious of people who feel compelled to conform. I personally like the adventure of difference. And whats beauty, anyway?
