Good body image is something I have always struggled with. There have always been things that I have been self conscious about on my body, namely my thighs and stomach. As I get older, and my body takes on a more womanly shape, I'm beginning to understand why women obsess over every part of their body. Suddenly I'm more self conscious about my arms and back, my neck/chin, and my chest. I thought as I grew older I was supposed to naturally come to peace with my body, and I would be a confident woman in her twenties, but it's just the opposite. I feel like I almost spend more time obsessing about my body now then when I was a self-conscious teenager. Sure, I know how to dress my body now and I can understand that there are some body types out there that just aren't attainable, but that doesn't stop me from doing a side profile look in the mirror every morning so I can carefully examine the bumps curves and divots of my body.
