How I did it: I didn't really do anything but keep going as I had been.  I guess I'd just been trying to make better and better decisions for years.  One day a few days ago I was thinking about how I used to hate everything and realizing I didn't anymore.  I realized it was because I didn't hate myself anymore.  To cut a long, self-involved philosophical discussion (with myself) short, I realized that while I may not love myself yet, I accept myself.  I've made some really good decisions the past few years and I like where I am now.  I'm so far from becoming who I can be, but at least I'm on my way.  Of course, then I remembered I had this goal here so I came to check it off today.  =)

Lessons & tips: Make good choices, be patient, understand that you're only human and that thinking leads to doing, and doing leads to being or some other junk like that...

Resources: um... none.  haha, no self-help books here.  Except the scriptures.  God doesn't exactly mince words when he tells you he wants you to get your act together. =)  But it talks about how much he loves all of us, as well.
