I'm am working on mine & feel so much better about myself. I have a loooonnnnggggg way to go, and I still have some hangups about how I look (some... lol, if you know me you are laughing at the word *some*)--I think I probably always will...
BUT
I am much happier than I was, even if the only person who is happy with me is me.
I was at a party on Saturday & when some friends of friends heard I was recently separated, they turned to this one man standing in the back of the group and said, "Oh, we should introduce you to Kevin!! Keeevvviiiinnnnn!!!! <gigglegiggle>"
Kevin's response, "Oh, God...no." while shaking his head.
The old me would have thought it had something to do with my looks or my weight or my whatever.
The new me didn't take it personally. Especially since I was thinking the exact same thing & it had nothing to do with him. (actually my mind was screaming, "are you freaking kidding me????" lol!)
I'm going to go out on a limb here & guess that Kevin has issues just as big as mine right now when it comes to Rs.
Anyway... my point. And I do have one...
My new philosophy when it comes to me...
If you don't like the peaches, then walk on by the tree. (nickel Joss)
That's all I'm saying.
