IT’S NOT WRONG TO ADDAppropriate cellulite for all those heavenly chocolate brownies we eat,in addition to freckles, crows feet and laugh lines.
How do youmeasureyourself?
These days, size isn’t just a number, it’s the way you feel in the changing room. It’s the difference between a good day and a bad day. It’s how you see yourself every time you look in the mirror. But what if all that went away? What if, instead of seeing x’s or l’s, we see what’s really there -amazing, beautiful, healthy bodies. Maybe it’s time to change the way we think about size.
BE HAPPYIN YOUR
OWNSKIN
Accept yourself.Love your body the way it is and feel grateful towards it.
Most importantly, in order to find real happiness, you must learn to love yourself for the totality of who you are and not just what you look like.
