I think about this all the time. I spend a lot of time with fit and active, strong women. Bodies, beauty, weight, comments on others’ bodies (even when positive) permeate our conversations. It is painful. I try desperately not to engage (and for the most part am successful) yet what I am painfully aware of is that these conversations are everywhere. I have tried to break the patterns — and find that I continue to fall into them despite my best efforts. It will be something I ponder for years to come.
