Accepting love...
Have any of you noticed that quite possibly before surgery you couldn't accept another's love because deep down you didn't feel worthy or love youself? I have been googling trying to find information about accepting love and loving yourself. I haven't found a lot, but I really feel that this has greatly affected my life. I think I am starting to be able to accept love and embrace it and it's great!!!

Yep, I did not feel worthy of kindness and love. Weird, because I would get pissed if I didn't get it, but on the other hand, I didn't feel I deserved it. I didn't accept myself the way I was, why should anybody else? Especially a man!
You know, I know that we aren't supposed to judge ourselves by how we look. In general, we are supposed to love ourselves as we are. I did to a degree, but I hated, absolutely hated(!) the way I looked. I felt icky, out of place, mismatched with the person trapped inside. My body now is saggy, baggy, and the skin is loose and foldy. Kind of gross in it's own way, but it does not bother me. My body does not bother me the way it used to. Yeah, I hope it will tighten up as I continue to strive to reach goal, but I feel good about me. For once in my life, I feel good about all of me! I do love me, and I deserve more. I am striving to change things. I am dating, and I refuse to settle. I deserve it all, and I'll have it by golly! You know, sometimes I worry that I'm becoming a bit narcisistic, but I'm enjoying it. It's been great to actually enjoy being touched and held, and feel worthy. I know this isn't exactly the same as what you are saying, but for me, it does carry over the the mental/emotional.

Been there, done that.....Settled for "Mr. He Might Do" the first time, rather than "Mr. Right"!!! I've had "Mr. Right" for 22 years but it took a lot to really see how much this man loved me.
It's the head part -- needs to catch up.....try getting books from your therapist. I'm sure they have titles for you to get at the library.
Linda is right -- you are surrounded by love !!!!

Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~
Yep.... first step I am learning, in a good relationship... is to love yourself first....and the rest will follow, when god says it is time.... I can honestly say I am begining to feel beautiful for the first time in my life. And now have a wonderful man, showing me just how beautiful I am... just being me.
I am not short... I am fun sized!!
