I don't know that this is really a meme, but I hope folks treat it like one and take it back to their blogs and LJs. There has been a lot of bad body image going around in the circles in which I travel, and a lot of it has been coming from me, and it sucks. So here are some things about my body that are good:
Things I Like About My Body
- I have large, strong, capable, athletic-looking arms and legs.
- I have great hair--thick but still soft.
- I have really good skin.
- My breasts are nicely shaped and firm and nearly exactly the same size.
- I have a movie-star quality back.
- My ears are really cute.
- Because I am so tall, I can usually see really well at concerts.
- I can easily balance or carry things on my hip.
- I'm tall enough to carry off wearing a dress over pants without looking like I'm 5.
- I have tattoos and piercings that I picked out and feel comfortable and natural to me.

The thing that helped me most in dealing with my "larger than size 10" body image was to think of myself as a Valkyrie-- who would dare mock them for the size of their arms or any other body part? Plus, they're amazingly cool, powerful, and self-possessed.
