We women are so hard on ourselves, aren’t we?

So how about a permission slip to let go of some of that guilt, huh? After the jump, 20 things you can immediately (right now!) stop feeling guilty about.

- Taking your birthday off.
- Letting your mom’s call go to voicemail when you were too tired to talk.
- Spending a weekend away from the kids.
- Wearing your jeans three (or four) days in a row without washing them.
- Telling your friends you have plans tonight and then going home, turning off your phone and watching three DVR-ed episodes of “Millionaire Matchmaker.”
- Lying about your weight.
- Your abortion.
- Making some mistakes in love when you were younger.
- Taking a cab instead of walking the 15 blocks.
- Letting the one who got away get away.
- Having more money/success/better opportunities than your friends (especially if you worked hard for it!).
- Being naturally thin when you sister struggles with her weight.
- Calling in sick on a beautiful Friday.
- Blowing your weekly grocery money on a massage (as long as you have a little peanut butter and bread in the kitchen, you’ll be fine).
- Sending birthday cards a few days late.
- Sending a dish back you aren’t satisfied with.
- Skipping yesterday’s workout.
- Sleeping with him on the first date.
