Description
ummm part II of the other one...I hate my stomach so don't say shit about it because I already feel kind of insecure submitting this, but fuck it.
I purposely made it so that the "FAT" looks like it could say "EAT" as well.
Nasty colored green to complement the yucky idea.

Before I left a comment on this, I wanted to view your stuffs, so i did. C'est magnifique...or however you spell that. So, I have been in your shoes, and am still there somewhat. I used to obsess over my weight and body. If I ever weighed more than 105 lbs. I would freak out and starve myself until I got migraines. I had a friendship with a girl that pushed me into doing that more and more, besides what I did to myself. I am not sorry to say we aren't friends anymore. (It actually had nothing to do with the weight thing) So, in this world of being raised to feel like we have to look like fucking Barbie dolls, let me tell you that you ARE beautiful. And, I will understand if you can't see it for yourself. I look back on photos of myself from a year ago, and am unhappy with them and feel I look fat. I feel as if I cannot escape this beast of what I do to myself. Your photo and description touched me. It is stirring up these feelings and I cannot even believe that I am typing this stuff where other people will read it and know a secret about me. But, it needs to but brought out into the open. Many women, and even girls feel this way. I don't think I have ever had a 23 inch waist, but I was damned if it wasn't for lack of trying. Right now you're probably thinking, WTF? will this chick EVER shut up? But, well, this isn't just some candy coated photo that looks all cute and pretty and everyone loves. So, good damn job. I think the color choice works well. Black nail polish would have been lovely, more symbolic of the range of your feelings. And, I like that you tied your hands with the tape measure instead of putting it as a marker of size around your waist. Enough said now that I feel like a raving lunatic.

No, thank you very much for that comment. It was very touching and I appreciate you commenting on something other than "wow so cool". I'm glad you got something deeper out of my photograph, as was intended, and I'm glad you could relate to it too.
I still have problems with my weight and body image, and I'm glad that expressing that in my photograph actually had a great impact on you.
Thanks so much, again.

I reaLLy feeL for the emotion behind this and wanted to say that I admire your strength in submitting it. Discussing what one consider's their fLaws takes courage, and I really admire this! I can't count the number of times I have feLt the same way.
I think that you are more beautifuL than you think you are and that one day hopefuLLy you will begin to reaLize it, just Like I am beginning to reaLize that I am beautifuL despite my fLaws.
This is fantastic.

Thank you.
I felt really insecure taking photos of my stomach since it's one part of my body which I really dislike and feel insecure about. So it did take courage but it's just something I've been wanting to express I guess. And I'm tired of my old pseudo-glam photos.

I hope to see more of you, I think that continuing to change as you deveLop as an artist is a great great thing.
Best of Luck!
