I found a very interesting article on a blog on yahoo. it addresses the way we treat our body. and how media has really brainwashed us into thinking that you have to look a certain way (via..skinny, tall, way too skinny) to be beautiful. So Natasha Laraway, you are pretty as you are! Here's the letter:
Dear body,
You are beautiful. You are healthy and you carry
me up stairs and along on my bike, in bed and out. You can bend and
twist,
inspire lust and desire, can do anything I ask you to. Anything
I want to try, you're up for. You have brought me so much pleasure, and
have brought so much pleasure to others. I have used you, and
forgotten you, and have forgotten how lucky I am. I am sorry I have
been mean to you. I feel I should apologize for being such an -----
to you all these years, for neglecting you, good body, for feeling
ashamed when I was naked, for covering you up as if there was something
to hide. I will tell you that you're beautiful more often. I will bring
you flowers and vitamins and take you out dancing. We should be
partners, body. Thank you, body, for putting up with my ----- .
