Hi mermaid -

I'm sooo with you! My lower abdomen is a mess.

Razzle, I kind of agree with you...but then again I don't. I'm willing to accept the nose I was born with, most of my stretch marks, that fact that my shoulders are kinda slopey and I have a long jaw. I don't colour my hair though I do pluck my eyebrows. But if someone offered to pay for the plastic surgery to fix my stomach I'd take the money and run to the closest reputable plastic surgeon and beg them to do it right away.

Why? Let's see. Those other things I was born with. While I earned that stomach and have two incredible kids to show for it...it isn't something natural for me. As I comptemplate being newly single, the fact of the matter is that this stomach of mine is a barrier to intimacy for me. I would have to feel incredibly safe to show it to anyone.

Just my $.02
