I'm 44 years old and truly love my body for the first time in my life. I've always had these great legs that I inherited from my mom and my face has certain qualities that people have always called pretty - even though I could only see it sometimes. And I've always thought I have elegant hands. But I never liked my butt, boobs, or feet.
Now I pretty much love everything about my looks or, rather, I feel extremely comfortable inside my own skin now. I think that has a lot to do with what you see when you look in the mirror.
