Bathing suit weather for sure, UGH. How are you handling this?
Let us think about our own body image. Are you happy with yours. I know we are seem to be always trying to change it and we can continue to work on it, however; give yourself a break. Work on your image of yourself while working on the body. OK?
Find one thing to comliment every day if possible. Think asbout this..sounds easy but can you do it expecially every day?
Watch what you where. Try to find clothes that fits you body and make you feel good. Watch th baggy effect. Be pleased with what you have on. Treat yourself to something new if you can.
Exercise
Nourish your body with the right kind of food. Be careful of the junk.
Do some pampering-bubble baths, lotions, massage
Write down compliments when you receive them. That keeps the fuzzy feeling going.
STOP negative talk..NOW (my thighs are to big, my stomach sticks out, nose is crooked etc.) This is all just complaints that have become a habit.
Can you replace the negative thoughts with some appreciation? Explore your personnel strengths. Ask some friends what they like about you and build on those compliments. Enjoy your body-afterall your arms help you hug someone. your stomach helps you digest the great food you eat, your eyes allow you sight and ears hearing.
One other thought that was given to me while discussing these issues, I thought I would share. If weight really is getting to you, put away the scale for awhile. Stop the obsessing. Be careful of the adds you read and watch--those models are not the real people of the world.
Any other suggeestions? Feel free to join in.
