Hey all,
I have a question for you all that has been triggered by a situation- Here it goes:
I was taking out and cleaning my windows yesterday and had a view of one of my neighbors across the street, sitting reclined on his front steps with a beer, with his (rather huge) potbelly sticking out for all to see, chatting with a friend on the balcony next to him.
It was interesting to see people's reaction as they walked by - Some would look away, some would stare, some would just look forward just a bit too intensly.
Now, even though I like my rotundness, there is no way I would have the guts to just lie there shirtless on a passing street. It got me thinking that since I "care" so much about my gut and my size, it causes an unwarranted amount of self counsciousness that most people won't have.
I wouldn't have the guts to do it, but would you?
Discuss and dismantle
