This article is so true. I am coming from the opposite end. I never had body image issues until college. My roommates were overly concerned about their weight. I endured many comments: "You are so skinny!" "Are you anorexic?" "How do you stay so thin?"...etc. Now, I feel self conscious about how "thin" I am. I am trying to gain weight so people find that I am not something they need to attain to become. I strive to be satisfied and comfortable with me. I can't really change it.

Isn't it awful to realize that you don't truely even have control of your own thoughts? And, it's even so hard to control your reactions?
