I admit it. I am my worst critic. I worry, okay obsess, way too much about the last ten pounds I have wanted to lose for the last year and a half. As I have been reading my "Simple Abundance" daybook every morning, there is a lot of encouragement about loving yourself. In fact, just last week, I made a list of 10 things I love about my body and 10 things I love about my personality in my gratitude journal. Great exercise, by the way - (I urge you to do it!).
I have begun to realize lately that my obsession with my weight or more specifically my tummy fat, is doing me no favors in getting the body I want! More importantly, it is putting me in danger of some negative behavior in front of my two young and very impressionable daughters.
So, in the spirit of living the life I want now (hope you read Tuesday's post), I read this article on making peace with one's body and am vowing to do just that. Who's with me?
I totally agree with you. While I am not even close to bouncing back from having Luke, I know that I do so many things that don't set the best example for Ashley. In my own obsessing, I think I set myself up for failure and then beat myself up over it. I admire you and thing you are amazing. You were an amazing friend growing up and I love the woman you have become! =)
