With all that has happened, especially in the past year…I’m hoping to just be satisfied with what I have and not let other’s perception of me taint that.
How to stop seeing myself and my life as one big self-improvement project
It made me
content 
"I am as improved as I ever will be and I'm satisfied."
How I did it: I separated from my husband, then realized that all those self-improvement efforts over the years have always been about me being unhappy with my primary relationship (my marriage, my mother...). If I am not in an unhealthy relationship, I can stop frantically trying to fix myself in order to bend myself into twisty pretzel shapes. Me single = me happy with myself.
Lessons & tips: Why are you really trying to improve yourself? For you, or to compensate for your life?
Resources: Therapy, divorce. :D

Hard habit to break
2 years ago
My brother started the “Ready Set Go” program 8 weeks ago and sent me before and after pictures, and I ordered the book. I’m on the fence about whether I want to start it – it’s a big commitment (not really more time than I’m already spending at the gym, but more focused on weight training). I’m kind of liking not seeing my body as a self-improvement project. But on the other hand, I’ve gained 6 pounds. I don’t know.
