I know I could lose a few pounds, and I have gone up & down for years. I could cry me a river over not being 'perfect'...but who is. I accept I need to push a little bit every day to better myself, and if I succeed, kudos to me, and if things don't go as I planned, tomorrows another day. I'm still a beautiful loving person. And I have lost weight many times for the wrong reasons. Now I work on it for me, and although its slower going than more drastic approaches I've tried before, I now feel comfortable in my own skin.
