When I was in college there was a girl in our dorm's communal shower that would saunter around completely naked without any apparent self consciousness. I envied her despite the fact that she was heavier than me at the time, because she was somehow more beautiful in her serenity than she actually was. How does anyone get like that, I wondered.
I was a normal sized teenager when I started dieting, 5'7.5", 140 lbs, but Twiggy was all the rage back then, at 5'6 90 lbs! Or Brooke Shields, modeling jeans, 5'10", 115 lbs. I dreamed of weighing 120 or even 115 and knew that I would still not be thin. I starved myself down to 122 for about a minute and yo yo'd up and up through the years. If I could have one decision to do over in my entire life, it would be that first diet.
It's not just girls and women, though. Consider the contrast here between his comments and the pics:

I was just never comfortable until about four years ago, when I started feeling comfortable with my body overall. As you go through life, you get more comfortable with yourself. It's like everything else with life -- you change, you grow. People might think it's simple, but for me it was hard to even feel comfortable walking around naked when it's just me and my wife. So the thought of doing it at a photo shoot in front of people [laughs] -- it was like, "No way ever."
