I wish I could come to that acceptance of myself.
I certainly don't judge others as harshly as I judge myself.
And my favorite dog ever, the one I say was so adorable? She was, she had the cutest face ever. But if you took her overall, she had some ugly issues herself. To me she was beautiful.
And my grandma, who looked an awful lot like my mother, was the most beautiful soul on earth to my grandpa, and beautiful to us grandchildren as well. I have pictures of him looking at her that brings a tear to my eye.
I think maybe the difference is that I feel responsibility for myself and my own body. And I get angry at myself for not doing those things that I know I could do. I can't look at myself without remembering the exercise I don't do, that emormous helping of yorkshire pudding.
