Great thread!

I know I struggled with my body image greatly when I first came out, but I feel like I've come into my own, particularly in the past 5-6 years.

I can't figure out how in hell every single person in my immediate family has no hips/ass, yet I do. *sigh* That aside, it doesn't matter to me.

I love my shoulders most of all. I love my strength. One of my exes, who is still my best friend, always says I'm "strong like bull!." I think I have nice hands, as well, and I have great skin. It's softer than a baby's butt. LOL

OK, OK....I'm vain. I own it. *grin*

But in all seriousness, it's a hard-won fight with self-image to see myself in a positive light. And I'll give much credit to the women I've been with over the years because of all the loving support I received from them. These women helped me see the positives, which made my acceptance of myself come along easier.
