I identified with your post so much. I am afraid of other woman and I think intimidated by them. If I felt good about my body and my whole self esteem seems to be wrapped up in it then I felt like I had some power over all this. I too had been able to be ok with my body for several years now . Then I recently took a medication tha had me gain some weight and changed my body shape terribly and I cannot accept it. I am overwhelmed with thoughts about it all the time. I know "I" am not my body but emotionally I feel that way. I would be interested in you keeping me updated about how you are dealing with it. I have not figured it out yet. I am aware of my problem but I cannot seem to make my emotions calm down about it and be more rational even though my mind understands the logic of it all. What do you think is the best way to learn to deal with not being "perfect"?
