When I realized that, it helped me appreciate a bit more what I do have today. It's not going to get better as we age, unfortunately, so enjoy the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1802269 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 03:57:44 +0000 Gigi 1802269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting. I was thinking of this the other day, how we have such nasty names for our perceived flaws: man shoulders, junk in the trunk, saddlebags, duck feet, etc. I wonder if men do this as much as women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1802267 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 03:52:17 +0000 Eliza 1802267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Anna. There is a reason I was thrilled to exit junior high. Have to leave it way in the rear view mirror. </p> <p>At this point, my motto is "carry on".<br /> I like Janet's acronym, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1802161 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 22:06:37 +0000 K.M. 1802161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely more accepting of my body now that I'm older, but self-criticism takes many shapes... I'm still my own worst critic in maaaany aspects of my life, from work to personal relationships to my fashion sense :-O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1802009 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:46:16 +0000 RobinF 1802009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha love it. That is such a fun movie. Yeah, why do we do that to ourselves? I haven't noticed it more recently but it's always a problem and I am an offender. I agree, Janet, it's harder with age! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1802003 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:36:22 +0000 Janet 1802003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LP, exactly. The first time I try on shorts in a season -- or even worse, a swimsuit -- is always a reckoning. Then I seem to acclimate to seeing my pale, not-so-slim limbs again and start shrugging off the doubts.&nbsp;</p> <p>Word to the wise among the younger ladies too: This can get harder as you watch your body age, unless you start building up a healthy DGAF attitude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801980 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:57:50 +0000 LaPed 1801980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great link! I've notice the body talk too. I suspect the current spate of self criticism is somewhat seasonal -- it's part of the run-up to summer for a lot of people. Lots more exposed skin and limbs, all sorts of stuff you didn't have to deal with emotionally when it was covered up by sweaters and parkas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801970 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:22:33 +0000 Lucy 1801970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Women need to be kinder to themselves. I hear women say things about their own body that they would never say about a good friend's body - why should we pick on ourselves?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801915 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 04:08:56 +0000 Nadya 1801915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly. Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801904 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 03:30:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 1801904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have tried very hard in recent years not to do it. It's not easy. That's a very funny clip! I love Lindsey Lohan, troubles and all. With my icon Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday, what fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801881 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 02:45:03 +0000 Jaime 1801881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I have also noticed Anna. Yes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801875 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 02:26:23 +0000 Greenjeans 1801875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! &nbsp;Sexism internalized and directed at self. &nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;annagybe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801872 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 02:23:07 +0000 Janet 1801872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think of that scene too! I have been noticing it as well. Trying not to succumb to self-criticizing. It's a old habit for me and I'm still working on breaking it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801870 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 02:18:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1801870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great. I've been noticing it, too, Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801865 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 02:00:36 +0000 Ledonna N. 1801865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is to funny. We are always our worst critic. I would be the girl at the end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/all-this-body-talk#post-1801852 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 01:10:22 +0000 annagybe 1801852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And all I can think of is</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTwPlr-l-oM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTwPlr-l-oM</a> </p>
