I talked with my sister about this; she is heavier than me, and going through a very tough time. Our other sister is petite, athletic, and works as a trainer at a gym, so naturally we hate her ;)

I found myself saying something I truly believe but never realized before: if I am exercising, moving through my life with energy; if I am eating nutritious food and treating myself to modest indulgences, and if I am honoring my current shape by wearing appropriate clothes that flatter me and portray my inner sense of style…

WHY would I bother being unhappy with my body???
Why?
I can be frustrated with a lack of progress, or I can acknowledge that my body is already working at its best and doesn’t need to change, as long as I am loving it and taking care of it. I guess I won’t feel this good about it everyday, but what do I consistently feel good about, every day without exception, anyway?
