Falling in Love With the Mirror

I went shopping with my grandma today. Shopping is generally pretty stressful for me. I don't really know why; I'm intellectually comfortable with my body. But, there isn't really a single good mirror in my house. The "full length" mirror is basically a fun house mirror. "When did I get so fat?" tends to be a question people ask when they look into it.

Today, standing in a dressing room in Target, I caught sight on my un-panted back end and smiled. There was my cute little butt and my nice long legs and, hey, I look pretty good under this shirt, too!

Liberating. Truly liberating to love your body when you see what it really looks like.
