I do some of my best crying in the shower. There's just something about standing in the shower, knowing that my body is not right and wondering if it ever will be that gets me started.

The shower was always that one place I could be completely alone, no one could hear me crying over the water if I was quiet, and no one could see the tears - kind of like the old song, "I wish it would rain". I could always explain my red eyes away by saying I got soap in my eyes. Sometimes it just gets to be too much and you need to let it out.

Unfortunately, my ex finally caught on to me crying in the shower about two years ago. She walked into the bathroom and heard me.

Like Josie, I think most of us have a poor self image. What a wonderful line - "That's actually not your call." As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I know that I for one only see the flaws when I look into the mirror. Just once I wish I could see myself as I feel - see the me that I know is inside.

Bailey, how do you manage to put my thoughts into words?
