Now I've grown up and somewhere along the way I just lost touch with my body, when I look at another woman I don't know if I'm bigger or smaller. Of course in extreme cases of difference I have some sense of difference. Body issues and senses of identity are a plague upon femininity and now that I'm what I'm told is a normal weight I miss being skinny, what I was tortured for to begin with and struggled to overcome. Brain! Media! Perceptions! They will do you in before you even realize what's happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
