Mary: Why I Love My Body

On the same level as the competition I'm running (get your entries in!), is this fantastic post from Mary over at A Merry Life.

I could write a post about all the things I still want to change, to make look better, but I won’t. Instead, I’m going to honor the body that I have right now, in the stage that it is currently in. I am going to love it now, accept it, and still look forward to more positive changes

So my answer to the “Why do you love your body?” is this:

My body is not perfect. In fact, it is probably farther from “perfect” than anyone who has done this yet, but I’m comfortable in it. And I love it… because it’s mine. No one else’s. So if I think it is beautiful, then it is.

Mary is INCREDIBLY brave, and I take my hat off to her. An amazing, beautiful, inspirational person - whom we need more of in this world.

The post is well worth a look at.
