The daily naked minute

As I mentioned - I'm officially taking control and acknowledging the power of choice.....
I think the first step for me is getting really comfortable with my body and being honest with myself about where I'm at...since I avoid looking at myself naked at all costs, I can't imagine I am really being that honest  (and I'm less and less comfortable in my own skin).
The naked minute...
I am committing to one minute a day of looking at myself naked - good and not-as-good (the eventual goal is to do this without judgement...I can feel good or bad at any other time of the day but for the naked minute I hope to just acknowledge what's really there)....I am going to look at my pale skin that veins show through, I'm going to look at the stretch marks I may or may not have (you'll never know), I'm going to look at the things I love about my body, I'm going to look at the tattoos that I got when I was way too young to get tattoos, I'm going to look at all my freckles and moles (including the one on my butt that I avoid because it's kind of weird....not hairy and ugly weird ...more like why-are-you-there weird)....I'm even going to move around and not suck in my stomach (there will be no self-deception here) for one full true-self-acknowledging minute.
I just did my first minute and now I'm going to go to bed and try to sleep it off.
