Turn your body hating into body loving.

When I Now look in the mirror, I actually love what I see: a 41-years old, not too tall not too short, black big eyes, my Dad’s prominent eyes and brows , my Mom’s Smile and big mouth expressions , sturdy big thighs, a big butt, thick legs on good days a tummy that is nearly non existente 🤔....and some nice cleavage 🤗 I’m beginning to look like my beautiful Big boned hipped paternal Mother ... 🤪 and that ok... I wasn’t always so at home in my own skin. Now I simply embrace and accept myself overall... Body Mind and Soul...I didn’t love much about myself until I started caring and looking after it. I realized that its you that has to nurture your relationship with your own body just as you would nurture any intimate relationship. It’s an ongoing process, one that I work at every day now, whether it’s through what I eat, what I dress when I excersice and especially the message I put out when I look in the mirror. But you need to want this, and be open to it.... If you’re ready to explore that side of you, here are some suggestions to help you live in the body you have and the body your should nurture and love, and very important to love and accept the body you’re in.💖

Look in the Mirror Answer honestly: When was the last time you looked in the mirror? And dancing in Zumba Class Doesn’t or at Gym don’t count 😜I mean Not just a quick check of hair or teeth, but really looking? I find that mirror exposure can significantly boost your body esteem. Come on Try it... its YOU... learn to accept your flaws first before wanting to Change or better certain areas... You first need to Love yourself to wanna change yourself... its all YOU Never forget that...🤗 It’s best to First, take a good, long look at your body, resisting the urge to zero-in on body parts you dislike. Try to ignore your perceptions of fat, skinny, beautiful and ugly. Erase all the body-related criticism from your mind. Just look at your body and try to see it simply and honestly. When you feel ready, state out loud at least five nonjudgmental things about yourself. (If you have trouble getting started, simply saying Wow my eyes are great and big... or my lips so plump... anything...😌 Then, without skipping or dwelling on any particular body part, describe objectively and out loud how you look. Use positive words... instead of big use voluptuous instead of Small use petite... instead of gross or ugly use different and unique... and so on.... “It does feel a little bit strange at the beginning. But once you get into it, it feels kind of like a conversation you’re having with yourself, and it starts to become quite nice. Like anything, it’s a habit you have to develop over time. It’s about learning to train yourself to see your body as it is, rather than immediately focusing on what you don’t like. This can be fun...👍🏻😀 Treat your body as though it were a good friend. If you practice this more positive and loving perspective, you may just find yourself with a new appreciation for yourself and your own body.

Self-Talk That Works Instead of dwelling on imperfections, make it a goal to say and think positive things about your body. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes. If you: always make general disses, such as, “I hate my legs!” or “Ugh, I’m so out of shape.” Try this: Catch yourself in the act and Say I’m going to go for a walk or join a extra fit class or don’t say anything at all, and just take note of the voices in your mind and act on it.... If you: Make negative comparisons, such as, “Yeah, I’ve slimmed down a little, but I’m still no Model.” Try this: Revel in what you’re pleased about, instead: Say, “I’m glad I’ve been eating healthy lately, and my energy is good.” Leave comparisons out of the equation. You’ve got one body — appreciate it for all it is. If you: Reject compliments (“Nice feet? Ugh, I hate my feet!” or “Really? I think these pants make me look fat.”) Try this: Accept compliments with a smile. “Our instinct is to run ourselves down ,But the best answer is just a simple ‘Thank You.’” Bottom line is Accept yourself for who you are and what you look like and then the rest will come natural, you are free and should never feel pressured to fitting into a mold or someone else’s ideal... If your goal is to loose weight then You owe it to yourself to give it your best .. If you fine and happy with who you are embrace that and stick to it, remember a good and healthy lifestyle does not have to come attached with a fixed weight or size you have to be or wear, but being healthy and loving yourself is what is important. Be your own Ideal be your own Super fan... and be honest with yourself and your achievements. Loveyourselfeveryday
