It takes some reflection to realize that most people probably feel the same about me. Still, we're so hard on ourselves, aren't we? So self-absorbed to think our lives would be better appreciated if not for those extra pounds. Instead of shedding the weight, we should shed our attitudes. Heal from within and the without will follow! Thanks for this. :) I know I’m often in that place, too, where I love everyone around me regardless of size, face, color, dress, or any other visual quality — everyone except myself.

Much gratitude for this perfectly-timed article!

I completely agree that we should embrace standing up to the mainstream and encourage open critiques, as hard as it may be. I have faith that we are moving towards that direction and beginning more and more to applaud those that do! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment! :) Great point… I completely agree that we should embrace standing up to the mainstream and encourage open critiques, as hard as it may be.

It is easier to go with the popular mode of thinking-- it takes courage to stand up and say something different from the mainstream crowd. That strength should be embraced and emulated. Great piece.
