Me at Nottinghill Carnival 2008
My name is CJ, I am a magazine journalism postgraduate. I am quite fascinated by appearance, perception and vanity. I have encountered so many people, friends and strangers who will untag themselves from fairly unflattering pictures on Facebook, because they can’t see the funny side. That isn’t too bad – but, when did we stop laughing at ourselves – and when did it become a sick obsession to obtain an unnatural ideal of perfection?
I have suffered and still suffering my own battles with my perception of myself. Ever on the quest to lose a few inches, I can’t seem to resist the temptation of bad things…Bad things to me include alcohol and naughty treats (chocolate, biscuits, chips, takeouts – of any variety) I can’t seem to be good on any day – for a whole day. But, I am not one to take myself too seriously, thankfully I have not had an eating disorder. But, I know those who have and those who do.
I invite you to follow this blog, and have a chat with me about it – if you don’t share the same views – please don’t hesitate to make your point.
Looking forward to it,
CJ
