I've been working on improving my "self-image" for years, and although I have definitely improved from my former state of mind I can't help but find myself frequently put down by all of these skinny mini beauties posing delicately for a photographer who will post their many tiny creations to TUMBLR for the rest of us (normal/average weight) girls to slowly disect... Although I can be momentarily consoled with the thought that all of these models have been photoshopped in one way or another, the idea of a perfectly perfect- everything is much to great to subside for extended periods of time.
It's terrible that I myself, and many others like me, can't feel comfortable in our own skin due to the image of a perfect body being so absolutely dufficult to obtain. I'd have to join a gym, go at least 3-4 days out of my week; count calories, drink a ton more water, possibly even pick up a dietary suppliment to assist me in my mission to perfection.... sigh. I suppose it's a good thing I've been promoted back to full time and will be working off commision, time to start saving money for my future spendings :P
