I have some on my tummy, and Ive never been pregnant. But Im starting to accept me in my entirety. Just because Im not a stick doesnt mean SQUAT!! Lol. I happened to read a wonderful poem at FB the other day, I cant remember the author but to sum up the piece, it went something like, "Dont you know what my body does? It survives on its own, it fights, it moves, all without Me, without acceptance, without kindness to it. The negative thoughts it hears within, "not enough". " that was just a bit of the poem, not verbatim but pretty close. It had a few more stanzas but I liked it...we need to love our WHOLE selves. No matter how it looks...its a magical thing.
