Body Image

What do you believe has had the biggest negative impact(s) on your self body image? If you've overcome these obstacles, how did you do it? I've see so many women on here struggling with their looks. From needing to wear clothes while having sex, or needing it to be completely dark, to women who have never let their SO see them without makeup. It wasn't until I was around 30 when it was like a switch was turned on for me. I got so mad, angry at myself for believing all the lies from mean jealous girls. Angry at big corporations saying my body type wasn't good enough, or that makeup was a requirement to simply be *presentable* in public. So I threw out all my makeup, stopped dying my hair, and stopped caring what everyone else thought. Pretty much just like that, I was so over it... though I did have to wean off the mascara, lol. What's your story?
