About Me

My photo
Chrissi
I love my husband. I love my friends. I love my family.

I'm finally learning to love and respect myself.

"I always feel that there are two choices for women..either be totally confident about your non-size-zero body and say, 'I love what I look like and this is who I am,' or be the person who is obsessed with diet and exercise and keeping toned. What feels more realistic to me is that some days I wake up and think I love how I look. On other days I say, 'If I had real self-control, I would be 10 pounds lighter.' That contradiction is, to me, what being a girl actually feels like." – Lena Dunham, Marie Claire
