How about some positive body reflection?! What's one thing you LIKE about your body?
Sometimes during weight loss it becomes challenging to remember that our bodies aren't just obstacles to overcome... they're valuable, precious, intrinsically attractive vessels that work incredibly hard to get us where we want to go. I spent so much of my teenage years actively hating my legs in particular, especially my thighs, because I felt they were far too thick, and fatty, and "loose". I looked at the long, slender legs of other girls - legs I'd never had even when I was underweight - and berate myself for my own legs not looking at that. Then, a number of years ago, I had a condition in one of my legs that made me unable to walk normally for almost 6 months. I forgot what sheer bliss it was just to be able to walk unaided. When I finally got my leg out from under its bandages, I was thrilled to see my leg again. I was thrilled to see it uncovered in pictures. I was thrilled to walk. I was thrilled to run, and swim, and stretch. I resolved from then on to appreciate and celebrate my legs, fat and all. And the rest of my body too. I still have to remind myself, to this day, to appreciate and celebrate my body, but it brings me joy when I do. I hope that it will bring you all joy, too.
Anyway, I'll start:
No matter what my weight or fitness level is, I have always liked my back. It's long, and smooth, and muscular. It reminds me that I am both strong and beautiful.
Your turn!
