How I did it: This site helped greatly, especially Flash and Tiisi entries.  Thank you so much ladies.

My girlfriend constant encouragement.  Mister Man who tells me I am beautiful everyday.

Learning to love me and this body, this takes work but i am so glad i did it, lots of self help books, looking at body in the mirror and not concentrating on the 'bad bits' but celebrating the bits I love and after a while I stop noticing the 'bad bits'.  The realisation that despite my body so called faults that my body has looked after me and that I was being ungrateful.  I am a child of the universe and perfect in my imperfection and this makes me happy.  I am so glad to be free of all this angst which has been passed from mother to daughter.  I am no longer hept up with my body, i just want it to be healthy and that means taking care of it by eating right, exercising and meditating.

Lessons & tips: Counselling.  Self help books.  Focusing on the parts of your body that you love and go from there.  Pamper days, spa and telling yourself that you love this body everyday. 

Resources: Prayer.  Exercise.  Meditating.  Healthy eating.  Acceptance.  Love.
