Didi, I am think our idea of 'self loving' is great, although i can imagine it taking plenty of practice to ignore those negative thoughts that creep into our minds about our bodies, after all you become accustomed to them within your mind and end up dismissing any positive ones, even compliments you may get;
For example when i was told 'wow you've lost weight!!' by someone
my automated reposance became; 'yeah but i have x amount of lbs to go yet'......instead of accepting the compliment and not turning it into a negative one
i will give your idea a go though and no doubt turn in to Miss Body Positive herself soon enough
Oh and Shanazel well done on the hike......sounded like an energetic one!!
