Do you compare yourself to movie stars and models? Do you spend a ton of time worrying about what others think? It's time to love yourself just the way you are. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to foster that self love.
The following are ways to love yourself more, whether you are a single penny pinching woman or a stay-at-home mom.
1 List Your Best Assets
One of the best ways to love yourself more is to acknowledge what's great about you. By jotting down qualities, such as sense of humor, intelligence and a caring nature, you have something to think back on next time you feel you are too ugly or too fat.
