Wrong

I have never like my body as long as I have remember from my toes to my hair. I have always had body image problems. Even when I weighted 145 pounds, swim twice a day and had a lifeguard body; the tan skin and long blond hair. I want to be more skinny, have more muslce, longer hair and hair that didn't get in knots everytime I moved it. Right now I am largest I have ever been in my life. A lot having do with stress from school and my medication but I am the happiest I have ever been in my life besides the one problem; my body. In this piece I go through each part of my body with a red marker. I draw "X", circles and arrows showing what I hate and what I would change about myself. But when looking at my whole body I see that I have red marker every where on my body. If I were to change everything that is wrong about my body then I wouldn't be the same person. I wouldn't be Anna Hoffmann. I wouldn't be engaged to the love of my life or have the best cat in the world. I wouldn't have the friends I have now, go to UF or be a photographer. Evrything I hate about myself, the scars, the fat, messy hair make me to be who I am today.
I have along way to go to loving my body and myself but this project has made me realizes and accept that I must learn to love myself because if I dont then I can never learn to love the things I have and the people that love me.
