Loving your body!

We all come in different shapes and sizes and are different shapes and sizes at different times in our lives.  There is so much pressure to be 'skinny' and so many diets and punishments for our body out there that things can become very confusing. Get to know what works for you and what your version of loving your body is.  If loving your body to you means being a size 10 then go ahead and do that!  If it means being a size 16 then go ahead and do that!  You might love your body by going walking or doing vigorous exercise.  Each is perfect for you as long as you do some moving!

There is so much pressure from magazines, media and other forms of advertising to look and be a certain way.  Do not give in to these influences!  Be the way you want to be and love yourself just the way you are.  If you are not happy with the way you are, love yourself to that place you truly want to be.  Consider what you put into your body and how you treat your body.  Do you do the things for yourself that you truly want to do and show yourself love the way that you truly want to be loved by you? 

Over the years I have seen various ways of eating and exercising and it's about time you did things the way you want to do them.  External pressures or motivation from external factors has no longevity.  Once a motivation from an external factor is gone, you will no longer be able to sustain what you are doing.  What are some internal motivators for you?  This means, what are some things that motivate you from within yourself and what are your personal goals that you are working toward? 

They say you should eat 5 - 6 small, regular meals per day and exercise 30 minutes per day.  This is pretty easy to accomplish each day!  I suggest you do this at least and then make a list of all the things you love to do for yourself and your body and do that!
