I had a dream the other night. Actually, it was more a nightmare. It was Ambien-induced; I took the sleep aid because I was having trouble sleeping (obviously). Not my usual habit but it was an easy way out. Or so I thought until the dream/nightmare came along.
In it, I was visiting a friend in Key West, where everyone walks around half-clothed. I seemed to have been okay with how I looked until I got down there and started comparing myself. I was not happy and my friends were very aware of that. They tiptoed around me. I woke up feeling quite shaken by the dream. I viscerally felt how damaging my focus on my looks was on me.

It might seem ill-timing and perhaps even a bit vain to be blogging about body image issues during one of the worst recessions our country has seen …
It’s surprising (and sad) to see a totally fit, attractive guy like Ryan Seacrest talking about how he needs to lose weight.
