With Age Comes Wisdom

So my birthday has come and gone and I'm now the old age of 27. I don't feel like 27. Isn't that what counts? When my sister turned 30 she did what normal people do and had a little freak out. I thought that I wouldn't act like that when my 30th came around. And then about a month before my birthday it hit me that I was going to be 27 and then what did I do, I started to freak out. If I freaked out at 27, imagine what 30 will be like. I was doing some thinking the other day about myself. I've always struggled with my weight and it's been even more difficult since I've had kids. I don't like where I'm at now body wise and I'm trying to change it. Then I had a thought that what if, no matter what I did, I will always be this size. What then? Will I still like myself? Will I still think I'm beautiful? Will I still think that I'm of worth? And I answered with an immediate yes which shocked me. I have never been this sure of myself in my life. If this what comes with age then...bring it on!
