re-learn to love my body by focusing on the parts I like

It came to my attention recently that some of my friend’s really don’t like their lips. One friend commented that she always had to do “creative lip lining” so that she looked like she had fuller lips. It made me find a mirror at the first opportunity and have a good look at my own lips… and I like them! Nicely shaped, fairly full – but not TOO full…they are even a quite nice colour naturally, just a slick of gloss and I’m good to go!

I have fairly high cheekbones – which I like. I’m not a beautiful woman by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m pleasant looking and occasionally, with a bit of effort and artful hair and makeup.. I think I may actually pass for pretty – and my cheekbones have a lot to do with that I believe!

I like my boobs! No, actually, I LOVE my boobs!! Considering my weight, they really aren’t that big (although, maybe if the rest of me were a bit smaller, they would look bigger?? lol) and they point a little more south than I would like them to I guess, but all in all – I have a pretty good rack!! Haha!

I hear women stress about their bust size, shape etc quite a bit and I must say, it baffles me. Believe me, I stress about other parts of body (although I’m doing my best to change that) but I never have about the ‘girls’. I know women with small breasts who wish they were bigger, big busted women who wish they were smaller, some are happy with their size, but they think they are too droopy or lopsided or stretch-marked…

Well, I am here to say that I LOVE my boobs just as they are right now. One is slightly larger than the other, just like 98% of the female population of the world and I range between a generous C cup to a D or even DD depending on the style of bra. I have a few pale stretch marks and a couple of freckles and even a small white scar where one freckle had to be removed when I was about 20 – but to me, all breasts are wonderful! They are womanly and sensual and allow me to wear great tops which show off my killer cleavage. I am proud to have a full curvaceous bust line – and if anyone ever asks me what I like best about my body, the answer will always be the same… my boobs!!

I don’t know if I have ever loved my body… even as a child, I was always taller than all of my friends and heavier than all of my friends… but surely there was a part of me that actually liked myself at SOME point?Actually, that’s not quite right – I DO like myself… it’s my body I’ve never really liked. But I want to. I really, truly want to. And that’s the main thing, isn’t it?

So, in the spirit of trying to like my body, I am (finally) starting this goal!!

First up is…. my skin!

I have been blessed genetically and for that I am eternally grateful! My skin is clear, I don’t get pimples or blemishes often – and if I do, they go away fairly quickly. I have a few freckles, but otherwise, it is quite even and I rarely feel like I have to wear foundation on the odd occasion I actually wear make-up!

So there you are… the first thing I like about my body is my skin!

I think it’s a mighty fine goal! I had one similar, but I like the wording of this one!
