Yep, I hear ya.
Listen, the same issues are the same issues. It's a harsh reality that you're in an industry in an area that values appearance over all else. Unless you choose to change your entire life, that's not likely to change. But you can still change, right?
How about checking out women's groups that work towards body acceptance? Or check out some of the work books like "Don't Diet, Live It!" or "Eating Disorders Journey Towards Recovery Workbook" and do some of the exercises in there to try to help you accept your body as it is, as well as working out and eating healthy foods?
Please feel free to continue this dialog, because I hate to think of you -- just a couple of hundred miles from me, by the way -- suffering from this. And the more I say it to others, the more it starts to seep through into my brain, too. Someday, if I work really hard, I won't feel this fat, either...
I hope.
