So, I'm not sure if this is a problem or not but apparently, I don't see myself as big as other people see me. I've been fat all of my life and I'm okay with who I am. I like myself, I like my body, I think I look down right cute/pretty/hot almost all of the time. There are days when I'm on the "my thighs are too big" or "look at my ugly stomach" band wagon but, all of my thin friends do too so, I don't consider that as not accepting my fat but just what comes along with being a person. When I look in the mirror, I like what I see, I don't see anything majorly wrong with me. Yesterday, I stepped outside of a Lane Bryant, I was wearing a very cute Old Navy dress, this woman looked at me, then my 24 inch calves, her eyes got big and she mouthed the words, "oh my God!", I stared her right in the face, (as I always do when I get such a reaction) and said aloud, in the kindest voice, "Excuse you?" She turned her head in shame. I realize that I was SUPPOSED to hang my head in shame so that she could say what ever she felt she wanted to say but, hell, I like me, and I'll be damned if some one is going to say anything negative about me while I'm within hearing distance. And besides, my outfit was WAY cuter than hers.
All of this is to say, is there a such thing as the opposite of body dysmorphia? Because if there is, I've got it bad.
