My opinion about my body and how comfortable I am with it: Pretty comfortable. I have my moments of insecurity, like everyone, but I happen to naturally have a socially validated body type so I have it easier than most. I always want to be fitter (not thinner) and stronger, though. Also, I see people naked much more often than most people do. I think this gives me a different perspective. I was browsing through a bunch of nude photography online today and started feeling a little insecure because all the models looked so perfect and beautiful (as my culture defines beauty). Honestly I have an advantage because I see people of all ages and genders and body types naked and I know how little anyone looks like an airbrushed model, and when I do get the urge to be a bitch and mentally compare myself I usually come out ahead. I don't like to admit it, but I do it.
I have a lot more image issues with my face than the rest of my body. I have quirky features, a crooked smile (not just my mouth, when I smile my whole face seems to go lopsided), and lots of acne scars. Sometimes I like wearing revealing clothes because I'd rather have people looking at something I like to take the attention off my face.
My zodiac/horoscope and if I think it fits my personality: I'm a Pisces, with Pisces moon, Gemini rising, one more planet in Pisces and three in Scorpio. I don't buy astrology but I've grown to identify with the basics of my sign and the wateriness of it. I've always lived a lot inside my own head, and I'm very emotional but I keep my emotions private. I could see myself as being an earth sign, too, though. I live my life in a pretty grounded way and I'm the kind of person that others talk to about things because they know I won't freak out. Some of the other things in my chart don't resonate with me at all. All my planets are bunched together in five contiguous signs, and that's supposed to mean I'm very focused on a few interests, but I'm the opposite. Meh.
