HATING MY BODY
This is something I have struggled with most of my
life. How can I take good care of my
body when I hate it so much? Throughout
my life it has betrayed me, kept me a prisoner, and made my life miserable.
One day I decided to write down a list of the things my body
has done for me during my life. I was
amazed. My body has been very good to me
even when I haven’t been good to it. It
has protected me when I couldn’t protect myself. It has kept me healthy through the years.
Don't get me wrong.
There are still things I just can’t stand about my body. But I do remind myself of how strong my legs
are when I complain about my upper arms.
I still despise that turkey gobbler that now hangs under my chin. But it does give me something to play with
when I'm sitting at my desk! lol
I've always enjoyed very good health. I know that part of this is just good genes. However give credit where credit is due! I have not taken the best care of this aging
body! If it were a car, it would have
been junked years ago due to upkeep and maintenance. I couldn’t even have gotten much just for
parting it out!
If you hate your body, take a few minutes to think about how
your body has helped you through the years.
You will be surprised. And then
decide to start liking your body even if it is just one or two parts at first. Who knows?
Maybe someday you will begin to truly love your body and develop a
healthy relationship with it.
