Don't Stop Accepting Yourself Part 2

Beth B writing:

We delivered my daughter by C-section. As a result, I have a beautiful love mark down the middle of my belly. When my daughter was very young, I was dressing in front of her and she excitedly remarked, "Mom has two butts! One in front and one in back!" I was horrified and she was awed! Even though I would prefer to not have two butts, it was the only way to ensure my daughter's safe birth. And I wouldn't trade my amazing daughter for anything!

My husband lost a lot of weight and has managed to keep it off for many years. His secret? Well besides diet and exercise, he confesses that the diets never worked until he fully accepted who he was. He has always had friends that could eat everything in sight and never gain a pound. And understandably, he wanted to be like them. But the poor man might have the slowest metabolism in the universe, so that dream will never be possible. Once he accepted that fact, he modified his lifestyle and has managed to maintain a healthy weight since.

Whether circumstances or birth has made you different from others, remember that it isn't better or less but just different. and it is this uniqueness that makes us interesting. To accept the flaws as well as the strengths will give you the greatest gift of all: contentedness!
