Thanks for your honesty and openness. You've encouraged me to work on accepting myself and integrating the different aspects of myself into one unified person (if that makes sense).<br /><br />The body image issue is a big one for a lot of people I think (myself included). I can really relate to what you say about the conditioning and habitual ways of thinking being as strong as hormones (potentially). Good for you that you're able to accept that about yourself and prepare instead of discounting those feelings and possibly making things harder for yourself. And it's great that Andy's so understanding as well. My partner seems to understand fairly well when I'm going through those issues but he still feels the need to "fix" me or help me and you know, all that ends up doing is making you feel like there's something wrong with the feelings you're having.<br /><br />Anyway, all the best with the upcoming birth and I'm so glad I found your stuff - it's been something I really needed :)blackmustardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176143062588469386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094877959826559848.post-41844689948919492462009-07-10T01:50:11.974+01:002009-07-10T01:50:11.974+01:00thanks for sharing about the body image issue alix...thanks for sharing about the body image issue alix, so many of us women are tortured by that (men too, i realise) .. and it can be such a painful experience even though our rational minds tell us; nonsense, ridiculous etc, the programming and conditioning can be very deep. thank you for connecting over this (more in email soon). xoxo big hugs.Tamara Laportehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876331215978519541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094877959826559848.post-53465697097902063722009-07-10T01:48:29.275+01:002009-07-10T01:48:29.275+01:00thanks PJ! it's wonderful when you can find th...thanks PJ! it's wonderful when you can find that type of connection with someone, doesn't have to be husband, but it's great if people can somehow experience it! :)Tamara Laportehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876331215978519541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094877959826559848.post-24336654498092923152009-07-09T23:39:35.500+01:002009-07-09T23:39:35.500+01:00Tam, I really understand how you feel about the wh...Tam, I really understand how you feel about the whole "not lot looking good" thing. I haven't had a baby, but I know that feeling in other venues. Why don't I put pictures of myself online (despite having a web presence since 1995) and why haven't I taught classes via video? Because I don't think I look good enough!<br /><br />I'm glad Andy is understanding. And you are beautiful, all the time.

I'm very close to my children (who are grown now), and for that I'm am extremely thankful.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847280037498655952noreply@blogger.com
