I hope you will speak with a T so you can find more good qualities about yourself! Because you have lots that we can see the important thing is that you see them, too. But start with yourself first.

Really like, what Rose says right here, about your peers!!

I don't know what, what happened to you, when you were younger did, but it clearly has shaped how you see your body. And I am so sorry that you went through that, it wasn't fair nor proper!

Have this friend, she's in her late 50's now. Was telling this bonding moment she had with her husband. (nothing graphic here, but telling and applies to this OP)

She told of how, after raising kids, becoming grandparents, life changes, body changes, they just stood in the mirror, saying, alright, these aren't our 18 year old bodies any more, but these are our bodies now. And we still love each other! (mind you, they've been married and together, since that young)

The heart that is meant to love you(kind of an urban, viral youtube vid, which spoke to many that I know have seen it)...that heart, that is meant to love you, will love the body that you are in! And, perhaps, learning to love your flaws, is a good way to work on yourself.

Adding in the Video Link, just shared it, down in Videos, Lyrics and Podcasts...
