I'm working on body confidence and acceptance. I am trying to be healthier without obsessing or becoming unrealistic. My goal is to be kinder to myself about my body and make an effort to look for the good qualities as opposed to fretting over the flaws. I happen to weigh more than ever but somehow I'm more comfortable in my own skin. Good things do come with age. Although I wouldn't say I'm confident yet.
I gonna try to think of my body like my favorite blue jeans- it just gets more and more comfy and familiar.
Thanks for this!

“Step Away from the Mean Girls…
…and say bye-bye to feeling bad about your looks.
Are you ready to stop colluding with a culture that makes so many of us feel physically inadequate? Say goodbye to your inner critic, and take this pledge to be kinder to yourself and others.

This is a call to arms. A call to be gentle, to be forgiving, to be generous with yourself. The next time you look into the mirror, try to let go of the story line that says you're too fat or too sallow, too ashy or too old, your eyes are too small or your nose too big; just look into the mirror and see your face. When the criticism drops away, what you will see then is just you, without judgment, and that is the first step toward transforming your experience of the world.”

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
