A Letter To My Body

Last week, Britt wrote a very inspiring post about body acceptance, and she very bravely posted a picture of herself in the nude to show how comfortable she is with every curve, wrinkle and stray hair. It was all part of the BlogHer “Letter to my Body” initiative. I think it’s an excellent movement and support it fully. I mean no disrespect to those women with this subsequent parody.

Dear Body,

I love you.

I knew that a steady diet of cheeseburgers, french fries, pizza, and butter would make you into an object of desire and affection.

I love that you can displace all of the water in a pool with one cannonball.
I love that your pants would feed a largish village in Africa.
I love that I get to use a mirror to see my penis and feet, since that lets me just gaze at myself.

Your breasts started out firm, but after having many Baby Ruths, they have become a bit saggy, but that’s okay. I’d never be able to lick my own nipples otherwise.

Your stomach, pregnant with many, many food babies, has expanded, but that’s okay. It’s a good place to sit a book or balance a tray.

Your thighs, once glistening pillars of steel, now brush together, but that’s okay. If I get trapped out in the wilderness, I can just wear corduroy and walk around to start a small fire.

Your penis, a mighty warrior of slightly above average size, has now hidden itself among your girth, but that’s okay. The smaller size makes it easier for smaller hands, say that of a high school aged girl.

Your butt, once shapely and taut, has become completely flat, but that’s okay. Now I can drop my pants easily without worrying about snags.

Your hair still covers every inch of you, except on the top of your head, but that’s okay. I enjoy being able to explore fashion trends with different types of hats.

Being the size of six normal people just means that you are six times as awesome! Being able to ride in solace in an elevator because you meet the weight limit alone is gratifying. Bringing your own titanium chair to restaurants allows you to protect the environment, and buying four seats on an airplane before you board gives you the comfort that none of those other passengers will ever experience.

Body, you’ll never understand how important I feel when the people at the Burger King drive-through know me by name. And that’s all thanks to you. And having the city of Altamonte Springs offer me my own roving zip code – that just warmed the cockles of my heart. When cars move out of the way as I cross the street because they don’t want to hit the large zoo animal who has clearly escaped, I always nod my head and secretly thank you. For I truly am special.

I love you, Body.

    BPR, yeah, I’m pretty proud of this one.

    Hello, didn’t you read the disclaimer? This picture is designed only for humor and may not be used for masturbatory purposes.

    Tracy, not even if you go buy it at Sam’s?

    Dave, oh, I know. And I’m filled with nougat.

    Hilly, I never do anything halfway. :)

    Glenda, I’m a classy guy, what can I say?

    Jay, as in you’re touching yourself?

    Scout’s Honor, I have to have it shampooed and blown dry.

    Dee, no, there was no room on the floor.

    DB, the camera always gets drenched and ruined.

    Beth, awww, thanks.

    Freelance Guru, unfortunately, I’m local restroom-phobic. I only pee at home!

    Turnbaby, I’m glad it made you laugh!

    MsFreud, my barber is afraid to go near any other part of me.

    Robin, it’s a deep love.

    This post was both awesomely funny and inspired although it was a parody of the “Letter to my Body” I think it still had an air of the original in the confidence you emit.

    I nearly pee’d myself but it was so well written and I especially laughed because being of the larger persuasion I have had the same issues.

    Then I got to the image and now I need white hot pokers and a my brain flushing with bleach and a speech from George W

    Poppy, I know – I’m surprised how many comments I got.

    BlondeBlogger, by bacon do you mean penis?

    Othurme, you are welcome. It would have been a bad idea. I would have been flocked by hundreds of women rushing to my house and hundreds of men would have just committed suicide.

    Kyra, but this is my good side!

    Stephanie, I probably wouldn’t get any comments. Everyone would be too busy masturbating.
