Too skinny...
4 months ago
My family has always had a history of being skinny.
I’ve always envied girls who had curves.
I want to complete this goal by accepting my body for what it is.
How to accept my body
It made me
satisfied 
"I learned to focus on my assets instead of my perceived flaws, and to accept praise from others."
How I did it: I am by no means unattractive, but in a world where a 36C bombshell with a perfect complexion graces the cover of every magazine and models in the posters of every clothing store -- it's not hard to feel like I didn't quite make the cut.
Lessons & tips:
My biggest problem was how much I focused on the things I didn't like about myself: small breasts, scarred complexion, a few crooked teeth, the bump in my nose. I'm so much more than my imperfections, and my imperfections make me more real than plastic. When I look at the whole picture, I'm fine.
I found myself ignoring the praises of others, and assuming criticism in harmless comments. I put myself down in jest, using humor to hide hurt. I needed to just let go of my inhibitions about my body, and just be okay with me.
Resources: No resources / products / services -- but you may use various products to do what I do now:
I take care of myself - eat right, get exercise, and maintain great hygiene. I dress to impress (myself) and smile more. And those things make me gorgeous.

I struggle most with my complexion (scarred) and my breast size (small!)
Clothes seem to be my worst enemy…or at least things related to them. Living in a hot environment where clothes that cover you just DON’T make sense…means my skin is often revealed to the world. (Not in a vulgar manner…just in a shorts & tank top manner!) And clothes shopping when you’re small-breasted? A weaker woman would cry…I feel like doing so sometimes, out of sheer frustration.
I think I can move on

the fluid pills helped my body alot. the up and down swelling had me going crazier and now i fit my clothes fine. I don’t feel the need to keep trying to lose weight. My body is good enough.
on to conquer other things.

friday night while doing my hair. It has gotten longer and when it’s down i seem to notice my face more. I look very serious and deep. I don’t think i felt any emotion so looking in the mirror at my face more should be done to improve how i feel about my body. I am using make up more so that will force me to look.
my stomach. It is getting better. Tighter. My thighs are great!! so now i have ot get over the fact that if i lose even more weight and tone my tummy more that it may still hang a little. c-sections are a curse. but my thighs will look even better as i work out.

i get so jealous when i see other girls with big boobs, or any for that matter, and nice skin and no stretch marks and tan. why can’t i just like myself for who i am? plus i’m so skinny (fast metabolism, i guess) and i don’t fill out clothes the way i’d like to. ugh.
