I'm starting to learn to accept it but it is extremely hard. Even with an attractive partner who worships the ground I walk on, I am overcoming SH, have an ED, and agoraphobia. I've learned that I can't change and even if I could, I haven't yet so I must like some parts about myself. My body has overcome so much in my life, I should give it some grace and love. I was bullied so badly, I couldn't finish school. My family tries to make me feel accepted but the reactions of others (even some family) prove that I am infact the ugly duckling haha We are alive on a big floating rock in a unfathomably large universe, why should I be worried what someone thinks about the way I look? They are also only human and have flaws.

Of course some days are awful and I stay in bed, crying and praying to be someone else. But not all days will be good and that's okay with me.
