i have a very hard time with body image. i can hardly look at myself in the mirror in front of another person, sometimes even when i'm alone. however, i can stare at pictures of myself for hours. i know how that sounds, and that's *not* what i mean. i just mean that i'm always shocked that the picture i'm looking at is me...it never seems right. such is the case with this picture. the only things that seem familiar are the tattoo, and the lines on my belly that come from years and years of bad posture. the stickers say "bigger & better". but this is not the case.
