Cheers to focusing on health and well-being in 2014. (And to keeping my butt off the scale and away from the darn measuring tape....)
I think I've got past body image days. As long as I think I look okay, I'm fine with that. It's quite good to feel more relaxed with myself. There's a lot to be said for growing older.
