I will say this, from a male perspective, and from a somewhat older experience: loving one's self is an inside job and has nothing to do with body weight. If you are finally starting to feel good about what you're seeing in the mirror, that is body image, and I know that feels amazing. I just got into a pair of pants I haven't worn in almost ten years. So I know.

But "loving myself" has never been about my body size. It's always been about accepting myself unconditionally, wherever I'm at. Here's a favorite quote of mine:

"Sexy is not a size. Every calorie is not a war. Your body is not a battleground. Your value is not measured in pounds. You are just as beautiful as every other woman."

I wish it said "person"...we guys need the same kind of love.

So anyway, that's just my take on this...

Good luck, all!
60 is the new 40!

Beautiful Share!!
My newest affirmation.. "loving myself" has never been about my body size. It's always been about accepting myself unconditionally, wherever I'm at.
