I CHOOSE
...to love myself.
...to treat myself gently, with patience and respect.
...to accept responsibility for every aspect of my life.
...to be present, awake, aware.
...to be open to possibility.
...to leap with the intention of landing.
...to do amazing things.
I like my bones.
When I see them, I feel normal.
I feel thin.
These are the bones other people see.
It's what they don't see that I hate so much...
I hate the drooping flesh.
The wrinkles. The puckers. The swag.
When I look in a mirror, even when I'm clothed,
the skin is all I see.
I wish I could just see me.

God Jen, I love you for your raw honesty.
I know how painful it is to despise one's own flesh. Here's to the hope that someday we can see past that.
I agree with Laura.
I'm surprised - and heartened - about how much alike we all look, both above and below the clothing.
