I was lurking on my husband’s FB page to look at pictures of my nieces and nephews and came across a photo of one of my sisters. I haven’t seen her in a while and my first thought was “she’s more overweight than me now!” Well, isn’t that a terrible way to make myself feel less fat. Why didn’t I focus on her big smile and that she looked happy and like she was having fun?
That’s my big appearance stumbling block – my weight and the feeling of dumpiness that goes with it. It’s how I compare myself to other women appearance-wise, though I know it’s not actually a measure of anything. Sigh.
