~ Honey's Blanket Fort Of Bliss 2 ~

Thank you lilli:rose:

There's some chai tea and chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen if you want some. :)

Thank you, Honey! Oh, I saw your profile early this morning. You are so brave! That's an admirable quality. Someday I hope I can take a photo...any photo...without hating it.

My Lit man friends help me feel sexy and beautiful. And listening to the men of Lit talk about their honest opinions about womens' bodies and what makes a woman sexy. It's been quite eye-opening, and flies in the face of what we've been taught by the media, and society in general for so many years.
 
This is the entire reason I finally created an account here. There were so many people who enjoyed "real" bodies. I've been lurking around and reading stories on here for since sometime in the 90's. But I finally worked up the courage to make an account andirealized that "these are my people" only in the past year.

Some of my favorite threads are Curvy Hips, Chubby Tummy, Thick Thighs Save Lives, and Nerdy BBWs. The variety in shapes and sizes, and the comments are so encouraging. Occasionally i post pics of myself here or there and I have never ever gotten a negative comment. Amazing!! The truth is that most men think most women look good enough to eat - pun intended. We are far harder on ourselves than they are on us. :rolleyes:

I am only just realizing this...I never had a clue...But I still can't look at myself without cataloguing ever imperfection.

I do better when I look down at my body instead of looking at it in a mirror. And I like it when I feel it with my hands.

I'm trying to learn to like my body. It's a process.

Yes. I've actually been more often using hands. For a lot of years I used a vibrator in the shower. You know, a quick release? But I've been working on enjoying the slower physical contact thing. It's a lot better and more satisfying. I'm trying to learn to like my body. It's a process.

Yes it is. It took us time to learn it all, it will take time to un-learn it, and to put something else it its place. :)
 
On my better days I don't really see my body in the mirror.

I suppose the argument could be made that on my bad days I look and fixate but don't genuinely see my body then either.

Ah, yes.

I wonder how different it is for men with body issues than it is for women. Or is it?
 
When I look at that picture I see me. I see my body. I know, intellectually, that she is what I look like. However, I don't see that. I really don't see that... What I "Know" is that my body is gross and disgusting. I'm trying to work my way out of that. But someday, I want to be able to face the camera with a confident face.

:heart::heart: This conversation speaks to my heart in a way that I'm not sure I can put into words really. I've spent my whole life dealing with these issues. I'm a perfectly normal, fairly average, acceptable and healthy weight for my height at the moment. I've ranged from too tiny to too heavy over an over largely because I have no real body image. I'm focused on what I see in my mind which is something I don't like. I rarely recognize myself in pictures. I've spent the last 20 years hiding behind a camera so that I wouldn't ever have to be in front of it because the images make me uncomfortable. I sometimes go months avoid mirrors. I choose not to look because where there may a handful of extra pounds at times, or too few pounds at others I see not a slight fluctuation but large, horrible variations that I feel reflect on me as a person. Logically I know better, emotionally nope.
So, I hear you. I understand and I don't know how to fix it either.
 
According to old Dr Who lore; the company that makes jelly babies will, at some point in our future, discontinue the production of pink jelly babies which will inadvertently cause them to go bankrupt and shut down as people suddenly stop buying jelly babies because they all like the pink ones.

Tinky will you let me rub pretty smelly lotion on your hands and arms, and give you a long snuggly hug?:rose:
