I don't want to let the culture influence my view of myself, and largely I'm successful - but honestly I think I could do with... slightly smaller curves. I'll always be more of a Rubeunesque (is that the right painter? The one who did the happy naked fat ladies in the Renaissance) figure, but I want to dare to wear a bathing suit again.

Yes, Rubeunesque.
Correct painter.

Understood.
I don't go outside without a shirt because I'm too thin now.
(Not that I ever went shirtless, I've been accused of being way too modest.)
But I also don't go to the beach at all.
(I have somewhat knobby knees! So I don't wear shorts, ever. Yes, self conscious like mad.)
