Someone here must love themselves, How did you start?
Such a great question and thread!

I am trying to figure HOW to do this myself. I am my own worst enemy. I am so critical of myself and I AM THE ONE who does the most damage to myself than anyone else can. I think in order to love yourself more you have to stop being your worst enemy and try really hard to stop criticizing yourself so much. I know I do it SO often. (I too fat, im too ugly, why cant I look like her). I hate being in my own skin so much, I forget that this is the body and form I was given to exist in this world and it doesnt mean my outside appearance represents ALL of me.

I agree with what was said here about self-acceptance. That is the true path in loving yourself.

Again great question and thread!
