Great post Jennbeingme!

Sometime I fear that I am the object of someone's snickering and finger pointing. Having said that, most people are too busy having their own fun to pay that much attention to me, so I wear a swimming suit anyway.

It says something about our society that even women and girls who are thin think they look horrible in a swimming suit. Why is our self-esteem based on how we look? Very interesting.

Brings me to a story I want to share that is off the subject....

I am a fiddle player. Once, when I was finished performing, I came off the stage, and had someone (who I considered to be a very good friend) come up to me laughing and said "so much for the typical thin, cute girl-type who usually are the fiddle players". I was crushed. What did my weight have to do with my fiddle playing? But I just laughed along.
