Today I discovered a (naked) painting of a woman whose body looks exactly like mine--- same shape, approximately the same amount of tone (I have a bit more than her now that I've been working out), even the same hair. It was rather confronting at first but I found the picture extremely comforting; I hadn't actually ever  seen anyone with a body like mine before yet here is this woman in the painting--- clearly considered beautiful enough to be painted by a man back in 1911. It made me feel really happy.
