Body Love

In the midst of this whole "figuring out my food thing and weight-loss goals" there's me. In this body. Right now.

Oh, but goodness, what to do with it. I go through bouts, all in one hour, of loving to loathing. That curve looks so sweet there, but oh, if this spot just beyond it were a little...tighter. Ugh. It's exhausting.

I wish I could just be happy with it all, all the time, no matter what. Is that even possible anymore? Am I allowed to be happy with my body?

That's just it - I don't know if it's okay to love myself the way I am right now, when I'm working to change how I am.
I read a lot about embracing the body you're in, loving yourself unconditionally. And that's swell, but. BUT.

....butt... (it's too big)
But you know someone who likes that an awful lot.

There's just too much. 
But for some, it's never enough. Or never too little. There will always be an unattainable amount. Stop chasing it.

It's okay to feel good about your body. Really. (I tell myself.)
But they said.
Tell them to SHUT. UP.

But - How do you love something you're planning to lose?
