The Novelty Girls

(And I’ll put some positives in just to keep with Crystal’s theme. Promise. )

In my case, “things about my body I hate” — well, if we’re going to talk functionality, the whole fibromyalgia deal tops the list. I could do quite well without that, thanks very much. If, however, we’re looking at pure aesthetics, I’ll just repeat most other women in saying, “My weight.”

It’s not that I have a problem with overweight women. Hell, one of my ex-girlfriends was a plus size woman, and she’s gorgeous. But, I’m at that uncomfortable weight between “average” and “plus”, where there really seems to be a dearth of decently-fitting clothes. (Specifically, skirts and pants. Argh. I can find plenty of stretchy shirts, but they don’t seem to make anything else in that material, and I rather doubt the rest of the world wants to see me walking around in a top and underwear. ^_^)

It’s also basically impossible from my hormone problems for me to lose weight, yet because of my insulin resistance, I really should. Sigh. Gotta love the catch-22s.

My best feature? My eyes. Growing up, my mom used to tell me I had “Egyptian eyes” because of the slight curvature and long eyelashes. Apparently, her eyes were similar when she was a kid but she grew out of them (not to mention singing half her lashes off), and she always said the shape would probably change when I was 16 or 17. Since I’m now 23 and this hasn’t happened, I’m going to assume I’m safe.
