Body Image, Weight, and the Looking Glass Self: A Call to Action
Well, I haven't really posted thinky thoughts here before, but ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
14valentines is underway, and it got me fired up. Today's theme is Body Image, and there's an excellent essay here. As an overweight woman, body image is a topic that hits close to home. I feel pretty comfortable in my body, but it is driven home to me every day that other people aren't comfortable with my body. That kind of disapproval takes a toll, and it's what led to this post.
