I personally have always had body image issues. I think I have been on every diet there is. I have a bookcase full of diet books and trust me, I've tried them all! Am I completely comfortable with my nakedness in front of a loved one? Not entirely, but it is something that I am working on. I am slowly letting go of what society deems "sexy" or "attractive" and am learning to love me as I am with an extra roll or two, big butt, hips, breasts, and thighs. I now exercise for health reasons, not because I want to look like a movie star or some other entertainer. The men of my past have always loved my body with all its so called "flaws," so I know that the issue lies with me. I'm working on loving the inside with fierce abandon and as for the outside, the love and appreciaton for it will come, too.
