Learning to love the body you have at this moment is the best gift you can give to yourself. Media in all forms send images to our brains that if we aren't a certain weight with certain hair or skin or eyes or shape that there is something that we need to do to fix ourselves. They have a million different ways to fix us from make-up to surgery to pills or to a new exercise program or diet.
Well I am here to tell you that you are perfect just the way you are...you should look in the mirror every morning or every time you pass a mirror and say to yourself...."I love you" "I love my body just the way it is". This body is a gift to us...it gets us thru everyday!
I have been trying for several years to lose the extra weight my body carries around every day....not because I want to look better but because I want to be healthier and feel better. Now almost 2 years later I am not the weight I want to be but my body is healthier than I probably have ever been. Feeling better is the best reward for living a healthy life style! No I haven't perfected this new healthy life style but I work at it every day. Old habits are hard to break but never giving up is the solution.
Loving my body has always been easy for me for some reason...even at my heaviest I still didn't mind all of my extra curves....but because of my health issues I need to be smaller. So I will continue to do as much as I can to take care of my body but all the while I will continue to love myself just like I am! Work on this for you...that is the best gift you can give yourself!
Be well..be happy..be blessed~
