Embrace your body! It's the only one you get in this life.
Don’t give up. Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of... Jesus Christ, they come. -Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Permission
About a week ago, I verbally gave myself permission to feel beautiful. I looked at my 400 pound body in the mirror and smiled. Today I saw a varicose vein underneath my knee and instead of thinking about how it should be removed or covered up, I embraced it as a part of my body, and viewed it as proof of how hard my body works to have this fantastic life that I have been given. This body was given to me as a gift from God. Just as how I want for my kids to value their bodies, I imagine God wants the same from me.
