"Just FYI, I still cannot stop reading your amazing comments about Lizzi Miller, the size 12-14 model whose exuberant smile--and extremely real belly roll--appeared in Glamour&amp;#x27;s September issue. You said so many wonderful things about Lizzi in the comments: She&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;a breath of fresh air,&amp;quot; you wrote, &amp;quot;radiant,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;superhot.&amp;quot; Now, for our November issue, I want you to say the same kinds of things about someone just as superhot...yourself. Some background: We&amp;#x27;re going to be exploring issues raised in your comments about Lizzi--and the demand for more, in your words, &amp;quot;real-sized&amp;quot; women in magazines and every other part of the media--in our November issue. (More on that in a few weeks--I&amp;#x27;m so excited about it.) But I need your help for my editor&amp;#x27;s note. I was struck, reading the comments, by how effusive most of you were in your praise of Lizzi. You loved her body, and you raved about it. How different from the way we all talk about our own bodies! (I&amp;#x27;m not immune to this either...years ago, in an editor&amp;#x27;s letter about fitness, I self-deprecatingly described my arms as &amp;quot;strangely resistant to exercise&amp;quot;; I later received an email from a reader calling me on the carpet: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#x27;t put yourself down!&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;It only teaches other people to.&amp;quot;) She&amp;#x27;s so right! So here&amp;#x27;s an exercise. Complete this sentence: &amp;quot;My body is.....&amp;quot; You&amp;#x27;re not allowed to say anything negative, though. Not &amp;quot;fat,&amp;quot; not &amp;quot;flabby,&amp;quot; not any of those undermining f-words (or their demoralizing cousins!). Maybe your body&amp;#x27;s powerful....or sylphlike. Marathon-runner steely...or comfortably cushiony. Just fill in the blanks, and I&amp;#x27;ll use some of your answers in the magazine. I&amp;#x27;ll start: My body is... Short (That&amp;#x27;s why God invented heels!) Overcaffeinated Hungry! Miraculous (two gorgeous babies) Tough (one of those babies almost born in a taxi...without painkillers) Over to you, folks. Give me one word, or give me War and Peace--just answer the question, and no bodysnarking on yourself! And while you&amp;#x27;re at it, here are a few more ways to improve your body image... 16 Ways I Learned to Love My Body The Bikini Manifesto Celebrity Body-Image Confessions: How They Turned Insecurities Into What They Love Most About Their Bods More Ways to Get Glamour: Subscribe to Glamour magazine!
