How many of us are satisfied with the way we look? My guess is almost none of us are. Even in my very thin days, I wasn't satisfied. It's pretty scary, eh? Why can't we be satisfied and happy with the way our bodies look? I know that it's an on-going struggle for me, but one I wish I didn't think so much about. The truth is, I'm actually much more accepting of my body these days than I have been in a long time. Looking at myself in the mirror, I don't look awful. Like they said in our regional conference not too long ago - "You're doing great, but you could be better". That's how I feel right now. I know that I could be better about my eating habits, exercise, etc. I don't want how my body looks to be an obsession. I've wasted way too much time worrying about it and I'm not going to anymore! From today forward I am committing to quit worrying about the things I can't change. I commit to take care of my body, to feed it good, healthy foods. I commit to giving my body the exercise it needs to sustain itself on a daily basis. I commit to being happy no matter what I weigh. Weight doesn't define me.
Here I go...

You can do it!
I like this...a lot.
This reminds me of a song written and sung by Christian song writter JJ Heller. The song is called "Control" and talks about letting go of perfectionism. Her other song I really enjoy is "Your Hands." I know you connect with music. Not sure if you'll like JJ, but thought I'd pass it along.
I hear ya!!! I get so tired of worrying about it all the time, its exhausting. I have tried really hard lately to start eating better and exercise more. Now if I can just find the time!!! Good luck!
