I will never be perfect. And I'm all right with that. After losing 150 pounds, my skin hangs in places that shouldn't. Some days, my face looks droopy and my legs still look like clubs. One thing I know though, I've come a long way, baby. These "flaws" are all gentle reminders of where I've been. What really matters is how my inner-voice defines these "flaws" today and the day after.

Take advantage of your thoughts and think yourself perfect.
These are some of the affirmations I use daily.
