Both how to avoid heading in a body weight direction you do not want to go and honoring and loving the body you have right now no matter what.
 
I love myself…fresh out of the shower in the mirror. Maybe it is easier to be a woman. I have never thought I needed wash board abs.
 
I cannot even see 5-10lbs of extra weight I am carrying. Instead I am wearing it well from chest to booty cause I only notice when I try to button my pants or step on the scale.
 
In the mirror there are the usual imperfections mostly skin cosmetic issues. I have weighed those against all the rest I have to offer inside and out. Winning. lol
 
It is mind over matter. I was never a super model. Now that grey hairs are sprouting and I am alone I had better have positive self talk or bitterness will add to all the things I dislike that can be seen. Then how much fun would I be to hang around?

This post reminded me of one Oprah LifeClass video I watched online. In it she said everyone should start their morning by looking at the mirror and saying to ourselves: “I love you, cutie pie!”

Might be one of the few times of late that I looked in the mirror & thought, “DAMN, I LOOK HOT!” and fully bought in/meant it.  I sometimes still say that (even often, actually) — but then I get that whole phenomenon where I am feeling good about myself, someone snaps a pic, I pose it up because I’m feelin’ smokin’, and then I see the pic & think, “WTF?????  I am never wearing that shirt/pair of jorts/dress/etc. again for as long as I live. DAMN these thighs/belly/double chin/etc.!!!!!!!!”  
 
Fuckin’ BLOWS!  I do think the key is trying to love it all ANYWAY.  That perhaps focusing on the negatives draws more of the same to you.  Working on that — and also on recreating the skinny mirror in reality.  I don’t have much to lose, but it’s just SO EASY to focus on the parts of my body I want to change!  Wish I could just 100% fully LOVE IT NOW.  
 
Great, introspective post!

I don’t trust that I won’t look in the mirror and just see that I’m still overweight or see all the areas that still “need improvement”. I’m so critical of my body that I don’t know if I will ever be fully happy with it or ever feel good enough to run around my house naked.

That is still how I imagine I look. Since I typically get ready without my glasses on, the natural soft focus allows my delusions to continue. It is a good thing!

Laughter, pain they’re nearly the same freaking thing.
 
I feel the same way (damn it). It would almost be worth it to have an avalanche cover my village tonight just to be happy with my naked body. Excellent post!
