You are absolutely, positively NOT alone in this thinking, Mrs. S.

A lot of folks would look at me and think, "What's YOUR problem?" I suppose to most, I look fine....average. I'm 5 foot 1 1/2 inches tall and 136 pounds. However, I look much heavier because I'm kind of 'squashy' and pear-shaped and only 88 of those pounds are bones and muscles and organs. The rest is water and blood and visceral fat (all good things) and fat fat. I jiggle more than jello and cottage cheese has nothing on me.

I recently had a fitness evaluation done and I am in the 'poor' range of health/fitness. Honestly, that was not a surprise.

So, Hell yeah! I have more than my share of image issues. As cruel as some people can be, I've always been my harshest critic and, until I can find a way to relearn my thought patterns and re-evaluate myself in relation to the world (as in, really? Are my thighs that important to someone else? Does it really matter if I wear a cover up or just the suit?), this isn't going to change.

Good article, Sachita.
