[quote=Anonymous]I think lots of women do have complicated relationships with food and body image but I also think a lot of women in middle age or post-child-bearing start to react to body changes. Some of these manifestations are normal and healthy and others are not. Of my core group of 5 friends I can say for sure one is incredibly disordered and suffers from a lot of self-hate and obsession. Another appears very healthy, if thin, and watches what she eats and seems content. Two are heavier and acknowledge that, but it doesn't seem to fundamentally change their self worth and they deal with it in their own ways like exercise, frankness, and one has begun to focus a lot on her face and hair (treatments, etc...). I believe myself to be normal with regard to food, exercise, body image and all that stuff. I think we're a pretty good sample of 40-ish upper middle class womanhood - 20% nuts, 40% past prime, 40% hanging in there just fine. We hang out at work and at home. [/quote]
