Mood Shaper

]]> body shaper Angry. Moody. Irratible. Cramped. Shoved in. Judged. Restricted. Oppressed. Repressed. Hostile. Wrong. Fat. Unacceptable. Picked Apart. Flawed. Pinched. Unworthy. Squished. Frustrated. When I quit smoking and realized what a blatently hostile and self-destructive act it was to my own self. I vowed to show my own self more kindness from here on out. This is me in a girdle or more recently coined body shaper. I bought a few of these girdles after indulging in a make-over show. Basically, you suck your whole body into tight elastic.I was expecting it to make me feel better about myself. Everyone gets sucked into today’s body-culture sometimes – I’m no exception.So, usually on Sunday morning as I’m putting on a dress for church, I’ll struggle to stretch one of these full body girdles up over my thighs, stomach and yes – even my breasts. (Why on earth does it cover the breasts?)I feel. . . .Angry. Moody. Irratible. Cramped. Shoved in. Judged. Restricted. Oppressed. Repressed. Hostile. Wrong. Fat. Unacceptable. Picked Apart. Flawed. Pinched. Unworthy. Squished. Frustrated. The girdle stands up and screams at me: You’re not thin enough! How dare you let your body hang out! How dare you exist! How dare you show your imperfections in public? Why do you eat? Can’t you look better? You’re such a fat cow! How could your thighs be so big? Why don’t you do more sit-ups?Wait – no, that’s the voice in my head that sounds an awful lot like Stacy London from What Not To Wear. What if I have to pee?I strip the blasted thing off and put my dress on. I get compliments all day. I feel liberated. I feel beautiful. I feel comfortable. I feel unjudged. I feel accepted. I feel lovely. I feel worthy of kindness and self love. I feel thin. I feel sexy. Anyone want a free girdle?body shaper
