Body image is a serious issue, and unfortunately the majority do not view their shapes as 'acceptable'. Part of me is thankful for the movement towards a healthier lifestyle, but another part is saddened because many people make weight their main priority, and loose focus of everything else. We are continually evolving though, so maybe one day soon it will all shift into proper places. Lovely post! What a fantastic result to the simple challenge of finding shapes!

It is possible that for some people, it's not an issue of self-esteem so much as privacy. But when there appears to be a trend between closeness to the "norm" and willingness to participate...one does have to wonder. Thank you.

I agree with you about not necessarily being comfortable with my body when I'm thin. I was thin and I just was so stressed, squished inside myself, so not at ease. I'm rounder now and I feel so more alive and beautiful ! Your pictures made me smile. That’s a great idea (shapes and women).

I do not know what I would have said if you asked me. I mean I kind of hate to have my picture taken. I certainly do not feel beautiful. Not in the take a picture of me kind of way. But I really like your point. And this is a really powerful message. I appreciate it. Well, that is a really beautiful post. I do not know what I would have said if you asked me.

I'm sad that people have such low self esteem about their bodies that they didn't want to be photographed. I am far from the ideal and do struggle sometimes with balancing what I want to look like with what I have to work with but I wouldn't hesitate to pose (unless you wanted a naked shot - but that's a whole 'nother story). I'm glad you were persistent. Your post and the photographs in it are a wonderful encouragement for all of us to embrace who we are. Beautiful post.
