    No, not particularly, but it's not tied to my weight. I do try to accept myself as best I can and that works.

    I do about 85% of the time. The other 15% is because I care too much of what others think and it makes me question how I feel about myself. I never hate myself, persay. But I'm ridiculously hard on myself. I am my own worst critic.

    Working on true and total self-love! My final hurdle is how I treat my body...personality wise and how I look, awesome and I love it! But through abusing my body by eating terrible food-like substances, I figured I could never totally love myself if I don't respect my body and health.

    God loves me so who am I to despise one who is loved by God?

    I second that! Good to hear another person mention God. We can love ourselves despite imperfections, just like we love other people even though they're imperfect. Really, though, thinking too much about whether we love ourselves or not is a step on the road to narcissism. Whether we have positive opinions or negative, it's all about an existence centered on self.

    I do and my showerhead does toooo...

    whoever invented the massaging, detachable showerhead should be nominated for sainthood.

    That awkward moment, when someone uses your shower and sees that you've accidentally forgotten your shower in *kitten* mode.

    For the most part, yes. I have my bad days like everyone else, so it's nice to have a little validation every once in a while.

    I used to have really low self-esteem but I noticed that the "beautiful" girls that everyone liked, not only took care of themselves, but they were happy and confident. So, I told myself when I looked in the mirror I could either be happy with what I saw or not. I chose to be happy, it's as simple as that. Also, it helped to stop comparing myself to others and realize that I was beautiful in my own way.

    Sure do.

    I don't give a rats *kitten* what other people think about me. If you don't know me that's your issue not mine. I've had people draw up quick judgments about me because my lifestyle isn't one that they lead nor understand and they automatically assume things that are far from the truth.

    If you don't want to take the time to get to know me and you're going to form an immediate conclusion on who I am based on something I said, how I look or how I dress then you're really not worth my time or effort.

    I'm happy with who I am and that's really all that matters.

    If you don't love yourself how can you love others.

    Let me not to the marriage of true minds

    Admit impediments. Love is not love

    Which alters when it alteration finds,

    Or bends with the remover to remove:

    O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

    That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

    It is the star to every wandering bark,

    Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

    Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

    Within his bending sickle's compass come:

    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

    If this be error and upon me proved,

    I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

    - William Shakespeare

    I love myself for the most part. I know that there are many things that I could improve on but I love who I am on the inside. Now to learn to love whats on the outside.

    Not nearly enough. I harbour a lot of self loathing towards myself.

    every morning . . . first thing in the shower . . . my showerhead is my BFF

    hey look, it's almost shower time now . . .


    but seriously . . . not everyone can love their whole self all the time. we're all here because we DIDN'T like something about ourselves and are trying to change it. I love my friends and need their encouragement not just to say "woo hoo" when I get a good burn but to also remind me that I've come a long way since I started all this.
