I am very overweight and despite that ( I know facts) when I look in the mirror I don't see it. I actually find it draining to be amongst those that are always denying themselves something in the quest that the change to their appearance (what ever it is they perceive is the area) will bring them happiness. The only change I see that will do that is to accept themselves as good people despite appearances and laugh.

I do think we are all taught to be dissatisfied with our appearance, how else would they sell us things to 'improve ourselves'. I find it hard to admit but I've struggled with body image issues on and off for a long time because it's very self indulgent, but it's encouraging to hear confidence from you and other women as that helps me rethink how I feel about myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-26212677921220929692013-09-30T18:02:02.738+10:002013-09-30T18:02:02.738+10:00Really loved watching your video and watching your...Really loved watching your video and watching your self-esteem shine through. It is so great to read about someone without body issues. I grew up with plenty of them and now that I am in my mid-40s I realise what a waste of time it all was... can't go back... but a lesson as I move forward into a new chapter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382217241632765584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-12512648278540120072013-09-29T19:13:45.119+10:002013-09-29T19:13:45.119+10:00Carly, you are an absolute inspiration.

It is however an important reminder of the state of mind you can get to once you persevere. Hopefully the more people who watch, listen and learn about Ichythyosis the less people will discriminate and fear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550147601921183542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-83233704857421955062013-09-27T23:36:46.172+10:002013-09-27T23:36:46.172+10:00Another amazing post...i am glad you feel good abo...Another amazing post...i am glad you feel good about your body. I always tell hubby "there is just more to love" haha but I am the same, I have always eaten whatever I liked and my metabolism only slowed down in my late 20's. I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I love to hate it but know it is important for my mind & body. A wonderful cause you have created awareness for.

I am so inspired and impressed...there are so many women out there who are never happy with their bodies or their weight or their looks. We always find fault with something or the other. It took me years to love my body and accept it for what it is. Currently on my case load I have four girls with an eating disorder and/or body dysmorphic disorder and it scares me...these girls look in the mirror and see things about themselves that no one else does. I think we all need to take a leaf out of your book and take pride in the way we look. <br /><br />Thanks for this post and for directing me to the project...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-20113871702305262342013-09-27T09:50:45.141+10:002013-09-27T09:50:45.141+10:00Inspiration lovely lady.

It has taken me years to get to a point where I am comfortable in my own skin. Like anyone else I have days where I feel I could do with a change in appearance or lose weight which I think is totally normal for everyone. But now at 21, one thing many of my friends tell me is that they notice about me is that I carry myself with confidence! It is encouraging and amazing to hear someone else with Ichthyosis express their confidence in themselves I think by showing that despite our obvious physical differences from everyone else that we are confident would inspire other people to have a higher sense of self esteem and open the door for people to stop looking upon us with pity. And once that door opens, society may see us for traits other than our skin.Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-78049311476019794092013-09-27T08:25:50.337+10:002013-09-27T08:25:50.337+10:00A-fucking-men, Carly!

I have always always believed that. <br /><br />I would make just one edit to this post. Here: "I believe it's ok to be proud of our appearance if we have a visible difference or disability. We should celebrate our beauty by taking pride in ourselves." <br /><br />I would remove "if we have a visible difference or disability" because everyone needs that message. We all need to celebrate our beauty, take pride in ourselves, and be proud of our appearance. Everyone needs your message, Carly. <br /><br />I'm so proud to call you my friend xxxxTamsin Howsehttp://kikiandtea.comnoreply@blogger.com
