This is a concern for one's health and well-being. The bottom line: "self" is the key word in our perceptions of ourselves. We will never see ourselves the way other people do. That's not my concern.
No, I will not love this body the way it is. What advice can I give others who are also dealing with similar issues? How would I know, when I'm trying to deal with it, myself? All I know is that, whatever I'm doing, it is very slowly working and that I'm probably one of the most fit overweight women I know.
However, being fit is one thing. Seeing the reflection in the mirror is another, particularly when that reflection really can be a lot improved. I'm not trying to be the waif of my twenties, again; only what I know I should - and can - be, which is trimmed down from current state. Self image is a totally personal issue and can be nothing more or less.
