One must see the beauty within at any weight. There were things I definitely liked about myself at a higher weight--my hair, my hands, my arms and legs.
But as I've lost the weight, it is as if the true lines of my face are being slowly revealed, the way that Michelangelo said that he saw the angel within a block of marble, and all he had to do was to cut away the extra marble. It is important to acknowledge that the angel was always there--I simply think it is more visible now. I like the curve of my jawline more at a lower weight. I prefer the way I fit into my clothes. I prefer my stomach at a lower weight. I prefer the fact that I feel lighter at my feet.
