Submit Your Questions For Kelly Park Of Lifetime's "How To Look Good Naked"
by Megan Smith

Do you hate your body?  Do you avoid looking in the mirror for fear of what you'll see?  Well Kelly Park and Carson Kressley of Lifetime Television's "How To Look Good Naked" may be able to help.  And without liposuction, facelifts, butt lifts or tummy tucks.

As part of BlogHer's "Letter To My Body" campaign which tries to help women improve their body image, I'm going to have the pleasure of doing a podcast interview with Kelly Park who starred in the premiere of this season's "How To Look Good Naked."

Pictured here in all of her hotness with host Kressley, Kelly is a married Mom of a ten year old daughter and over the years had come to hate her body.  She wore baggy, unflattering clothes to hide herself and avoided mirrors at all costs. She felt so bad about herself that she and her husband didn't even sleep in the same bedroom.

Well because of the show, all that's changed and Kelly is "now embracing her past and looking eagerly to my future."

I'm interested to hear the behind the scenes story of her inspiring transformation and I'm asking BlogHer readers to submit their own questions for Kelly.  Please leave your questions in the comments section below and be sure to include your name and the name of your blog.

Questions need to be submitted no later than 3PM EST, Monday August 11th.

You can watch Kelly's "HTLGN" episode here and then be sure to check out my podcast interview with her when it posts sometime in the next two weeks. 

Megan Smith is a BlogHer Contributing Editor covering Television and YouTube and she can't wait to chat with Kelly Park.  Her other blogs are Megan's Minute: quirky commentary around the clock, and Video Runway.

OK, I really don't get...

How 5 days can change a lifetime's outlook like that.

I watch the show and really enjoy it. I also watch What Not to Wear and it has a similar "life-changing" vibe.

I get how a few days of self-esteem boot camp can change your life for a moment, but really...does it last? And why does Kelly think it lasts?

go carson!

Though I find the show to be pretty hokey sometimes, I do find it gives a positive message to women who are suffering from the "i hate how i look" syndrome... i feel the show/carson does a great job when it comes to making women focus on other things besides the size of their hips & thighs... and maybe it really DOES take standing in front of the mirror and accepting what you see... i know it sounds simple but it's not, and for those that have succeeded - more power to them!

my question for kelly is:

what one thing (during those 5-days) really made you SEE yourself differently, and why?

My Powerful Past

What if you have the voice of your exhusband continually telling you that you look terrible naked, and although you look great in clothes that if anyone ever saw you naked they'd feel bamboozaled?! Ooooh he was such a jerk. That's why he's the EX. Still...even though I'm remarried to the most amazing, supportive, "you are so beautiful" commenting on a daily basis beau, I still don't feel pretty in my birthday suit. It's pretty sad, actually when I think about it intellectually...but emotionally it's hard to give up those feelings and fears.

I Understand Completely

It's hard to get those messages out of your head.  But no matter what, don't give up on yourself.

Learning The Hard Way

For years I hated my body, always wanting to be 10 pounds thinner. When I got to my mid forties and put on a little weight, I looked back to my twenty something self in pictures and thought....how thin I was then.

Last year, I was in a medical crisis and my weight dropped dramatically. Be careful for what you wish for are the words that came to my mind. When I was so sick and wanted only to recover, I had an uncontrollable urge to apologize to my body for being so cruel and hateful toward it all of those years. I thanked it and still thank it every day for its amazing healing ability.

It took getting sick for me to figure out how to deal with my self hatred...I sincerely hope you don't follow me down that path. There ARE parts of my body that I don't like to look at so now, I don't look at them. I just look at my cute self in the mirror, focus on something I do like, and thank my lucky stars that I am still here!
