Ok, I still don’t really like it.
But, I also don’t really care that much any more.
It’s the same for all my other physical “faults”. Just don’t care nearly as much as I used to.

I’ll be patient and maybe eventually I REALLY will like it one day. :)

Yay! This is a really excellent thing to add to your finished list. I did a little veggie garden last year in the front yard of my rental. It got totally overgrown, but I did it all myself and I got a lot of veggies out of it. I loved leaving bags of them on neighbor’s porches when I had too many.
This year, my fiance and I started two raised beds and a few other patches in the back yard of our cute little house. We also planted lots of little flowers from a nursery. I like to imagine that they are silently sighing in relief as pull them out of their little plastic trays and press them into their new homes.

I still am not at the point of totally loving my bod, but I’m much better. Here’s what happened: I found a boyfriend who is really good at the compliment and honest communication thing, and tells me-with incredible patience-every time I complain about my body, that he loves it and thinks it is beautiful just as it is. He also tells me this, even when I don’t complain which is important too. Secondly, I joined weight watchers and lost 10 pounds! I’m very proud. I would like to lose about 5 more, but it’s no biggie. Im happy.
