A mother shares her desire to raise her young daughter, who looks just like her, without the same insecurities about her physical appearance she has carried since childhood: How do I raise my baby girl to love -- or, at the very least, not to hate -- the same features I have picked apart for so long? Perhaps there is no surefire way to vaccinate a girl against insecurity about her physical appearance, but I have to try. Part of that effort, I know, will mean finally letting myself off the hook: not only learning to embrace myself and all my imperfections as enough, but also forgiving myself for the emotional abuse I have engaged in against my body for most of my life... She looks just like me. I need to see that as a blessing to her, not a curse. I am trying.
