17 was when every little comment made me look in the mirror. (and I still have that same mirror).

I remember thinking the top of my inner thighs were not supposed to touch each other. How unnatural is that? I looked at the cool girls at the beach and wondered if I would ever get a date someday. I never noticed if the top of their inner thighs touched 😂 but I bet they did. Now, I see my 19-year-old granddaughter, and she doesn't give a shit about any of that. She's beautiful to me but has no body image issues. She wears a bikini. Annd has a tiny roll by her belly button. She thinks I'm weird for a lot of the stuff I tell her I did at her age. So, there's a line. How we didn't get over it, and she did, is a mystery, but I know plenty of girls I was 17 with that did not have my body image issues. 17 magazine probably did me in!! Lisa, you are a gorgeous 57-year-old. Unless that's not you in your picture.

What was that jerk watching you walk for anyway? Perve.
