I'm sorry you're struggling with self-acceptance. This shit is so hard, and yetso universal among women that I feel a sort of solidarity outrage every time I learn a friend is feeling this way. Even we tiny people are not spared; I daily regret my no-longer-flat stomach and middle-aged flabby arms and jowls.

It sounds like you're doing all the things that will help you feel better, which is great. And I can't wait to see your new haircut!
