Self-Image

I hate how I look. When I said that to Judy today, she responded, “Welcome to girl-hood!” I am laughing now because that is kind of true. I don’t think I know even one girl who loves how she looks. I guess I never thought of that until Judy made that comment. 


Why is that, I wonder? I think it really may be influence by the media.  In thinking about it, I realize that I have only ever seen super skinny models. How insidious! I’ll bet they are all starving most of the time. I wouldn’t be surprised if half of them had anorexia. I have no doubt that many of them are underweight. 

On top of that, now that I’m thinking of it, how many of them had plastic surgery? 

I never thought much about influence before. Maybe my self-image is unrealistic. I will have to consider that.
