question... Do you ever feel almostly completely disconnected from your body?
Maybe its a symptom of being overweight the majority of my life and struggling with self-esteem issues that come from that. But I don't feel a real connection with my body as being a part of who I am. The only parts I do feel somewhat connected with are the parts I can change or alter in some way or express something with. My hair is very much me. My eyes are very much me. My hoo-ha is very much me. (  ) But I don't think my feet are very me. My hips aren't necessarily me. My legs, my arms, my back, really have little to do with me. My smile is me. But my lips really aren't. My dimple is me, but my cheeks aren't necessarily.
I often think I would be the almost the same person, yet very, very different in certain ways were I housed in a different body. I suppose athletes, body buliders, dancers feel quite differently. Their ability to use their bodies in certain ways can almost define them as a person. Sorry, just something I've been thinking about lately. What do you think? |

What do you think? i've gone through periods like that. in high school i had a really bad body self image. it made me feel clumsy and that manifested into actual clumsiness. but once i started taking dance classes i got to the point where i felt connected to my physical self. comfortable in my own body. | |

But it's more than that. In a lot of ways, I'm comfortable in the body I'm in (I've had it for 30 years. lol.) But I guess, I just don't feel like my body defines me. Or maybe I fear it defines me as something I don't think I am. I don't know, that sounds weird, maybe... |

Without offending anybody, including myself. Haha! All of the orgers at Karen's house earlier this month are a lot smaller than the pictures they take. Or am I really that fat?
I've always yo-yo'd. I do feel better as a lighter person. Recently I've been kind of embracing my chubbiness. The funny thing is that when I finally feel like that, that is when I feel good and want to work out. When I'm down on myself and feel fat, I just want to go and get me some Burger Kaaang!!! And as you all know I'm an ellegant black woman on the inside and in a past life. M MyeternalgrattitudetoPhil&Val.Herman said "We want sweaty truckers at the truck stop!

I don't know, that sounds weird, maybe... i can really relate to this concept ... and i try often to completely disconnected from my body ... trance postures and shamanic journeys help with that it doesnt sound weird to me at all hun | |
