Take responsibility for them? Yes.
Accept them? Yes.
Own them? Like I've got a choice?

But love myself even more because of them? You're funny.

... in spite of them? OK, but that's probably the best I'll manage.

As for the tanning. Probably a good general suggestion, but not an option for me. I burn and peel. I will literally start turning red in five minutes and after an hour will start blistering. Thank God for SPF 80!

My bigger concern is the potential for baggy skin hanging everywhere. Did you notice any of that when you lost more than 100 before?
