I remember when I started reading comics

I remember when I started reading comics when I was about 8, I always thought that all these girls looked like that when they posed with their hips. I thought I looked like that and somewhere on my harddrive there is a picture of an eight year old me posing like a superhero with a broken back. I remember crying because it didn't look the same :|

Awww… that’s sad. :(  *offers backdated hugs*  Though, I empathize, because I got the idea from comics that women’s stomachs were supposed to be completely flat, and in fact inverted if they were thin enough, and I felt like I must be fat and out of shape because my stomach had a bulge.  Getting rid of it was one of the things my mind latched onto when my eating disorder and exercise compulsion was really bad.
