... you look the very best you ever have and ever will in your whole life, at this very moment?

Life is unpredictable. Anything can happen.

Are you going to waste this moment bashing yourself, hating yourself, picking out your flaws?

Or are you going to smile and be okay with yourself for once in your life?

You only live once. Choose wisely your mindset within the time you have.

    Thank you! Can we please get some self esteem on this site? Nobody's perfect but we're all working to improve and that should be celebrated.

    And I know for a fact that I DO look the best I've ever looked right now!

    I've actually told husband this many times. That if I never get any smaller, I'm happy. I just don't ever want to go back to the weight I was.

  • I'm starting to like myself better and I'm picking out my flaws a little less. Thanks for helping me see that I'm still the person I always have been and I should still love myself just for being that.

    This time is ours
    If I could hold this moment in my hands
    I'd stop the world from moving
    I'd stop the clocks from turning

    This is exactly how I feel. When I was in high school I was somewhat dissatisfied with myself because I wasn't exactly as thin as everyone else. Now I'm about six years out of high school, I was in a car accident that left me big scars and I have gained many pounds since then. So now I start thinking, this is who I am, I need to enjoy it for what it is because tomorrow may bring worse. But ever since I've started MFP I have had so much confidence in myself. Yeah, I may still be chubby and over weight, but I am doing something about it and I am still alive! It's amazing. So appreciate who you are at this moment, continue to strive for your goals, and never regret anything. Life's too short to sit and "wish you did this" or "Wish you hadn't done that".

    Love this. If I looked like this the rest of my life I'd be happy. I still want to lose weight, but realizing I'd be happy if I were like this the rest of my life helps the way I feel about myself. Thanks for this!
