Yesterday as I was passing a mirror in our hall. I looked at myself and actually liked what I saw. I didn't think "Wow I'm Fat", "My Hair Looks Like Crap", "No One Could Ever Love That", "What's With My Face", or anything else negative. It was a good moment.

Actually I did this today too. Only, my hair was a mess and I am overweight, but I was just OKAY with it. I think maybe it was because I was exercising when I happened to see my reflection. I didn't have negative emotions.

Remember: Sure, I need to fix some of my behaviors, but I'm not a person with less worth because of them. Behaviors are external to the person, you can dislike your behaviors, but don't let it reflect on how much worth you give yourself.
Thanks for this!

I love it when this happens! I've been feeling chubby and bloated lately, but a moment ago I looked in the mirror and was just like "Dammnn girl ;D". Aha, I tend to flirt with myself when I have that self-esteem.

We should all have these moments more often.
