Love Yourself However You Are

Today while walking into Target I saw a pregnant woman. It wasn't the fact that she was pregnant that struck me, it was her swagger. Yes, this pregnant woman was walking like she was on the runway. She had on one of those cute pregnant lady outfits and was strutting her stuff. In my mind I gave her a "you go girl," and rolled into Target. She made me think about something my cousin told me a couple of weeks ago. We were talking about clothes, and I made some comment about wanting to lose some weight before I bought some article of clothing and my cousin totally stopped me and said, "You are wonderful no matter what you weigh and you can't wait until you do this or that before you live your life." At that moment I realized that I need to start living in the now and stop waiting until I reach that magic size or get that perfect job. From here on out I'm going to do my best to live in the now.
