Did you see this post this past week? It gained some good traction. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, I would love for you to take a moment and read it here:
http://ow.ly/Y3j1H. I wanted to write a bit more on the importance of loving yourself
right where you are now. As I’ve said before, you can still love yourself while improving. Ya know, it starts with liking or loving ourselves a bit at time – it makes the road to physique transformation an easier journey.
As you know, I am all about self love and getting to a place where you are comfortable in your skin – a positive body image. We as women spend so much time hating ourselves, or hating a particular body part, or envying and judging other
women’s bodies. We do it without realizing we are doing it. It’s so embedded in our psyche that if we aren’t a certain weight or body fat percentage that we aren’t worthy. We are so worthy-- all sizes and shapes are worthy. We are not the weight on the scale or the size of jeans.
What really matters is how we feel in our skin, and that is not defined by a number of any kind. Sure it’s fine to have a goal in mind if you’re on a fat loss journey, but I’d caution you
to not have a size or scale number as a goal to reach in my opinion.
More than likely “The Number” pushes you into territories of black and white thinking.
We tend to use the scale as the only measure of progress. If the number goes down then all is good in the world, but lo and behold if the number goes up or doesn’t change our whole world turns upside down. We start to beat ourselves up and
tie our emotions to the number revealed on the scale. So the burning question is how do we start to love the skin we are in or how do start to love ourselves right here in this moment?
