Where is it that we get our personal body image? The media, comments made by others, or just our own bad attitudes? I’m not sure if we can find just one answer. I just know that we as women are very hard on ourselves.
There is no one in the world that wouldn’t like to change at least one thing about their bodies. That is because we are all unique, but yet we compare ourselves to others. When was the last time you took a compliment with a polite thank you and left it at that? How many of us will say thank you and then make a degrading comment about another body part of ours?
It is time to stand up and be proud of ourselves. Accentuate your best assets and be happy with what you have. So you may have stretch marks? Glow with the fact that you had beautiful babies because of it. You have saggy skin? Hmm, could it be from the wonderful job you have been doing with your weight loss?
Really analyze yourself when you make degrading comments to yourself. Whether it is outloud or in your own head. Figure out why you feel that way. Maybe it’s just someone else’s baggage you are bringing into your life.
