From the Bible

What does God have to say about getting comfortable with your body?

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. - Genesis 1:27

For you created my inmost being;
  you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
  your works are wonderful,
  I know that full well.
Psalm 139:13-14

0:50.5	and then growing into self-confidence. And so I don't think that those are exactly the same

1:01.1	This is a good thing. And, you know, accepting it. And then hopefully growing into feeling
1:06.0	confident about your body. And to go along with that self-acceptance, I think of it as not caring.
1:16.2	You know, it is what it is.
1:20.7	I do the best I can for the age I'm at.
1:24.3	And yeah, there can be confidence, too, and I agree that that's like the next step.

1:51.6	Even though I wish my body were different right now, I'm fine.
1:55.5	I don't let it stress me out and the only time it really bothers me is when I see myself on
