I have been going through an a package of photos from my grandmothers estate. She has a nice picture bundle of me growing up. <\/p>\n

As I look through them I am interested in seeing how much of my life I view from the point of body image and weight. I remember very little of my life other than shit that was going on in my head about how I looked as a girl. It’s kind of sad really, I had so little space in my head to learn something real because it was wrapped up in the fact that I didn’t look the way I “should”. <\/p>\n

I couldn’t concentrate on anything else. Somewhere in my head I got this notion that I needed to look pretty to have the permission or right to be interested it the things that I wanted to do. But somehow I could never hit that subjective sweet spot that allowed me to let go and move on to actually doing the things that I was interested in. <\/p>\n

I’ve been writing a blog post about these pictures and my memories of my body image (that I am not finished with yet).<\/p>\n

But. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, I present to you PROOF!<\/p>\n

I have NEVER been able to make a good cross-eyes funny face. I know I am trying to make one because my eyelids are so wide open my eyeballs are about to pop outta my head. I think that my body believes that crossed-eyes are related to sticking out my tongue too. Kinda like those Barbie Dolls that had a pony-tail that you could pull outta the top of their head, and then push a button on the back to make her hair short again. <\/p>\n

\"Papa_wars_'stach<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s like, MAAAAYBE, if I can get my tongue stuck out far enough my eyes will cross. As you can see, only a slight tongue stick-out-age, and no noticeable eye-cross-age<\/p>\n

It’s just a theory, but it hasn’t worked yet.<\/p>\n

P.S. <\/p>\n

I swear that I don’t sit around taking picture of funny faces all day trying to master this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
