I need to lose 10 pounds and tone up. The rest is a matter of acceptance.

Depends on the day :) I'm usually pretty happy with my body, and accept that this is the shape and size that I'm more or less meant to be. (I have gained a net 15 pounds since I was 18, and most of that seems to have gone toward filling out the womanly curves.) I do find that when I am most unhappy and stressed out with life in general, that I become less physically healthy (gaining weight regardless of exercise or eating habits, always tired and cranky, etc). On the flip side, if I've been generally happy for a few weeks, I usually have more energy and I will return to my normal weight.
The way I look at it is: as long as I feel healthy, then my body is doing what it should, and I shouldn't try to change that.

I don't know of anyone who is completely happy with their body. I look at some old pictures of my great grandparents wedding and they were all heavy. I think the image of what a normal weight should be is wrong. Until the advertisements begin to use more realistic sizes we will all have this size in our head that we should be but will never achieve.

I'm happy with the way I look, but would like to lose or tone some more. as long as my clothes fit, I'm OK.
