Some points I agree with although most is bull e.g.the hypochondria, as it happens I’ve been in and out of hospitals for the last two years, having a series of ops that keep going wrong. I agree with the early childhood and as it happens I’ve grown up being told I’m fat and ugly since as long as I can remember, since this is compounded by the hurtful comments made by people when I’m out in public it just reinforces it – these come from total strangers, and unfortunately since they are the same comments made by my family, friends and over the years boyf’s it doesn’t exactly inspire me to love my body. At my most intimate moments with partners they have also decided to share with me my physical faults before, sometimes during and certainly after sex – these men have I have been told are wonderful guys, I beg to differ with your view about appreciating your body. Its all well and good saying you should love your body but when all it attracts is hate and negative comment, its a trifle difficult, happily I have a “wonderful personality”, I love to cuddle up to that consolation. As if a man ever fell for an attractive pair of kidney’s. At best I can tolerate it but not love it. I eat healthily, I exercise regularly and always have in an attempt to lessen my perceived ugliness, it has never worked because you cannot tell that I do these things, my body stubbornly refuses to change, that being so I may have to live with it but I sure as hell don’t have to like it.

My body,I so wish mother nature had been kinder, since the age of 20 I have to try and cope with full body Psoriasis not just knees and elbows ! No
truly about 80% of the time, all the treatments,
lasrly home self injections, not able to go out in the sun, did many times to my cost,not able yo follow fashion; full sleeves and to ankles, Hospital says anything from 3-7weeks many times and daily treatments, it’s about 40years now. Do I like my body add to it a “weighty” issue. Yuks.

  Hi Lorraine!

  Sorry to hear about your Psoriasis! I’ve had eczema since I was 6 months and I do everything I can to manage it because when my skin is irritated I’m on edge because it’s your nerves that are affected. So I can’t imagine what you are going through.

  What triggerer it to develop at 20?

I think this one was OK for me really. I think the last part about childhood wasn’t correct for me though. But other than that I thought it was good
