I'm the queen of thinking negative thoughts about myself. And I probably haven't loved myself completely....ever, in my life. I just hate how those negative thoughts start to come then ooze out all over everything else!
I don't understand why I tear myself down because I would never dream of doing that to anyone else. I always look to lift others and be positive for them, so why don't I do it for me?!
The last few months I have been trying really hard to change this about me. Holy Hannah! It's hard! But I know that the longer I keep these negative thoughts hanging around, the longer it's going to take for me to change physically. Actually, I probably would have given up on myself months ago and found some excuse or given into some self-hating thought.
I have tried and tried to push through the negative waves and I have found that those positive thoughts really do make a difference! When I decided to love myself, every livin' lovin' inch of myself, I found that I care more about what I'm putting into my body to nourish it and what I'm doing to get my body moving each day. What a change it has been!
I do have my moments when I give the negativity a voice, but it surly does not stay around as long as it used too.
LOVE YOURSELF! Whatever stage of life you are in at this moment, love yourself completely! If you have a bad day, that's fine! Life has those. Just don't let it stay long. Switch your thoughts!

I wrote the first comment and it wouldn't publish so I will try and remember what I said! :) Remember who you are!You are a BEAUTIFUL daughter of God and an heir to all He has.(That's not just something they teach in primary. It is an eternal principle.) Only the adversary would have you believe otherwise, because if he can get you to believe you are worthless he can rob you of your desire to succeed and work toward eternal goals. It is possible to love yourself as you are and still want more for yourself such as optimum health and strength. They are not mutually exclusive. Start by processing your grief and letting the pain go. It's amazing how freeing it is when you allow yourself to forgive others and yourself. (Know that each of us carries within ourselves unprocessed grief and anger.That isn't something unique to you. You have carried a lot on your shoulders through the years and may never have had the time to work through it and release it. If you haven't, remember that by processing it and releasing it you can free yourself to magnify the best that is in you.) You CAN and you WILL succeed at reaching your goals. I believe that with all my heart! Keep up the good work! I know you are AMAZING and so do a lot of other people! :) Now it's time for you to KNOW that too! Love you bunches!!! Di
