Making peace

I have always had issues with my body, always.  When I was pushing 340 pounds, there was a reason to have issues.  My body was a harmful shell and it was killing me a little more each day.  I am working to to "make peace" with my body.  I have realized that while I may never be model thin, I am pretty dang happy with what I have... 

One example is my legs.  What can my legs do? 

• They can can carry me through running a half marathon!; 
• have a nearly noticeable line/muscle in the calf;
• can press 200 pounds at the gym - strong!;
• and much more.  I may not be proud daily of how my legs appear, but I am proud of what they do for me each day. 

I am no longer focusing on the negatives of my body.  I know that I will always be my own biggest critic, but I am going to accept what I have.  I am going to make the best of each part, no matter how critical I am of it - all while trying to improve myself.
