Acceptance....it's not that hard.

I have spent my entire life not seeing myself beautiful.

I have spent years trying to be someone I am not. 

I have tried to look like the pictures in the magazines.

I have tried to sound like someone else.

All this time spent trying to be someone else’s idea of who I should be has exhausted me.

All this time working out to become that “perfect” size.

All my hours spent planning diets.

All the time I could have spent “living” my life – I spent obsessing about not being ok just the way I am.

I have finally realized that I see me beautiful.

I am perfect; perfect just like I am. 

I decide what is perfect for me.  No one else can determine the beauty in me.  No one can make me feel imperfect without my permission.

I will not give that permission.

I see me beautiful.

Have you spent years feeling like you are not ok?

Have you been able to see yourself beautiful?

What will it take for you to know that you are beautiful?
