what do you think?

There's this new show on cable called "How To Look Good Naked" with that Carson guy from Queer eye for the straight guy. Anyways, it takes these women who have issues with their bodies, and proves to them that every one of us has a kawonkis view of our bodies. He asks what they feel their worst parts are while he makes them stand in a 360 mirror in their bra's and panties. This is filmed in a large city, I think New York, and at the start of the show he puts their pic, the one of them in their unmentionables, up on the side of this like 15 story building and he has passerby's comment-both sexes on this body. He then has the woman go into a room with REAL sized beautiful women who are all lined up also in undies. He asks them to place themselves in this line-up where thay believe themselves to be according to size of this body part they feel is too large, for instance one was a butt. She felt her behind was just enormous! So all these ladies turn around and all she has to do is stand in the place she believes her butt size falls next. Of course she put herself in the largest spot! Then Carson points out, very lovingly, that she actually has the smallest butt-she had added like 6 inches to her behind! Every one of these women has a view of herself that is NOT correct. Then after a mini makeover, new unders he tells them its time for a photo shoot, and the surprise they have no idea about is that they get to do it naked! They have these silk peces draped in all the right places, but then they put the naked pic up on the same building and this time the woman in question has to ask passerbys if they think she looks good naked! I love this show. First because it has real shaped women on it, second, it proves that we all have untrue views of ourselves, third, it opened my eyes to the fact that maybe I am not seeing myself the way others see it and that I should see myself for more than what shape I am. There was an interesting question posed on one show though. Who is harder on women being judged for their bodies, men or other women? It's women! It's true, be honest with yourself. We have the opportunity to impact one another and break the horrible cycle of everything from low self esteem, eating disorders, suicide. We have the power in our reach and we abuse it by being to harsh on ourselves and eachother. I am so glad for this opportunity to be a part of this group, we support eachother, and I don't even know half of you-but I appreciate all of you! This show is on Fridays, so tonight-check your local listings, it's a good one ladies!
