Has anyone said anything about your body this week?

You do not have to have handled it well. Most of us do not. — asked by Jonah

PeggyRotherham, UK

Hard question. I liked my body before as well, actually, and I am tired of the assumption that I did not.

KaiVancouver, CA

I noticed I had gone a whole day without checking anything in a reflective surface.

5

NadjaBelgrade, RS

Neutral. Genuinely neutral. It is a body, it is doing its job, I did not think about it much.

9

OzzyAdelaide, AU

My back held for a whole shift, which is the only thing I ask of it.

3

OllyReading, UK

Neutral about most of it and still snagging on one bit, which I gather is normal.

5

OttaviaBologna, IT

The changing room was worse than I expected and I sat in the car afterwards for a while.

6

BryonyMalvern, UK

Comfortable. Not a word I had used about myself in a long time.

7

BrodyDunfermline, UK

It made it through a fortnight I did not think either of us would manage.

2

CloverTotnes, UK

I got dressed without a running commentary. First time in months.

9

Hetty That is a good one. Thank you for putting it down.

OskarWarsaw, PL

It held a child for an hour without giving out.

It swam. In February. In the sea. I did not think it had that in it.

7

BramGhent, BE

I am not going to comment on it today. That was the practice and I managed about two thirds of the day.

Nella Glad you went in.

NoraDublin, IE

It is doing something clever with insulin that I do not understand and I am grateful to it.

OndineLausanne, CH

Comfortable. Not a word I had used about myself in a long time.
