How do you learn to accept your flaws?
My biggest issue with myself is my weight.
ESPECIALLY since i'm being so mindful lately!
I am not gigantic, but I no longer have the adorable young shape I had in my twenties. I have a bit of a 'spare tire' going on and I HATE it.
It makes me sad to look in the mirror or to see myself in pictures.

Yes, I have committed to doing something about it. I lost almost 60 pounds a few month back, using the Weight Watcher's Online program. I have since gained about 35 pounds back. There are many reasons why. I went through a more serious depression than I ever have before and didn't care what I ate. I felt like I was stuck in a rut with the WW program and couldn't always find the time to prepare my foods properly. I couldn't always afford to eat healthy - groceries are outrageously priced!
So, now I need to either accept myself being heavier or I need to do something about it. People who do not suffer from bouts of depression are probably thinking - "OK girl, get off your ass and make a change. If you want it bad enough, you'll do it and stop whining about it!" right? Oh, if I was ONLY that easy!!!
I think a combination of both would work best for me - get some more weight off but still come to the acceptance that I am never going to have that tiny figure again. I just don't know HOW to do that. I feel like everywhere I go, people look at me and are thinking in their head how fat I am. The logical part of my brain knows that this is probably far fetched as I see tons (no pun intended) of people much much heavier than I am, all the time.
I need to work on my weight in general (that is such a daunting thought!) and accepting myself as I am.
BUT HOW?????
HOW does one go about doing that?
