I was watching How to Look Good Naked- that Carsin Palmer show on Lifetime… Have you seen it? They take women that have low self esteem and have inner issues with themselves and work with them to believe in themselves and look good naked. I love it- it makes me look at myself different as well. I guess I can love the stretch marks that gave me 3 beautiful little girls!
Anyway- there was a thirty something year old women that had issues with herself due to scares from many heart operations. She was born with a very rare type of congenital heart defect- where her heart did not form properly and needed to be rebuilt- and she had some large scars on her chest and back and belly from chest tubes and incisions.
She was so beautiful and a great person. She was very pretty and when I looked at her all I saw was a gorgeous young women- and all she saw was someone who was not perfect.
Do you have scars that you wish where not there? Whether it be form open heart or something else? Do you feel non perfect because of your heart disease?
I have many scars and each tell a story- kind of like a map of my life! My hubby loves them and I do not see them when I stare at myself in the mirror! I hope you know you are perfect and we are all beautiful on the inside.
