"THE GOOD BODY"
by: Eve Ensler
To me, when I think of “the good body” I think of models. To me, a “good body” comes from taking good care of yourself and trying to realize that you are not always going to look the way you “feel” you should look, or how you want to look. For myself personally, I like to dress up and wear outfits that make me feel good about myself. I’m sure that as I get older my idea of how I should look will change. When I’m forty, it will probably be about losing all the baby weight, then when I’m sixty it will be about not getting too wrinkly or fat, and eighty will probably be able looking healthy and feeling healthy– should I live that long. Body image is a huge concept. Although it is generally the same for most people: be skinny, but not too skinny. Be pretty, but not too pretty. Be a certain color, a certain shape, a certain size. Everyone has different desires for themselves, but at the end of day we all want the same thing. We all want to be accepted, loved, approved of. However, not everyone wants to be happy with who they are in the here and now.
