I must be in the 3% because honestly, I don't have time to waste on thinking about my body. As long as I can get the stuff done that I feel I need to do, how my body appears is just not something I've ever thought about. Even with this hand injury (and the knee injury from 2 years ago), I rarely think of my body unless I can't do something, and then, it's often just to figure out a work-around or some way to get it done anyway. It's only when I can't get something done that I fuss about my body. As long as I can get things done, my body is invisible beyond routine maintenance.

The body efficient. That's what matters to me, not "pretty" or "ugly" or "fat", but "can I pick this up?", "can I dig this entire row?", "can I walk that far?", or "can I drive a car?" and as long as the answer to those questions and more is "yes", I'm happy.
