Maybe I read more into it than I should have. I've heard comments about pale skin being perceived as less attractive in a variety of places, over a long period of time. There have been pale people complaining about their skin for years, so oops. I still think that most people who've been overweight underestimate themselves and the people that do, could, or would find them attractive. Yes, you are the shit. Maybe you're exactly as much the shit as you think you are. Maybe you're selling your shitness short? I doubt it, but again, I'm talking generalities here, not you.

We all have our buttons that can be pushed. This is one of mine! Leigh, you're right that it's natural to want to look better/ change something about ourselves. I'm 70 pounds overweight, so trust me, I know that! But I think we should be able to talk about what we *like* without disparaging too much what we *don't like*. But I understand that we all have our issues and we need to vent from time to time. I just did! :-) But I do think we need to stop to think about how our self-criticism can potentially affect others.
