It's wonderful! 3 months ago

I’m making great progress on loving my body. For me, it’s not just about seeing my own beauty, but also recognizing that I deserve to feel good. My body deserves attention. This has made it possible for me to go to doctors for my health issues. In January I found a new primary physician and she started treating my underlying illness instead of just my symptoms.

The results: I’ve lost 30 pounds thanks to my doctor putting me on metformin for my PCOS. I’ve started experimenting with my personal style (even if I feel a bit awkward at first). Last Saturday I wore a snug t-shirt with a long skirt and sandals and danced the night away with friends. It’s very different from the old me.

I want to note that losing weight was and is not necessary for me to love my body. Actually, loving my body had to come first.



Deadline month approaches 4 months ago

OK, so during March I will try the following strategies to maintain my health (mental and physical) during higher stress times:
-make sure I have healthy snacks on hand to fight stress eating
-Try those vitamin energy shots instead of Red Bull
-Still take breaks!!!!
-Make a point to exercise in the evening, even if I worked late, just some yoga or something
-Bring in my heating wrap for neck pain
Right after I make deadline: go to the chiropractor.

I think I can do that.



Weight gain 4 months ago

I have put on weight, when really I need to lose about 10-15 lbs. I know most people on this goal are going to tell me to love myself unconditionally or something but the fact is, I feel comfortable when I’m just a bit less squishy. Nothing major, but I don’t like this and I need to get back into an exercise routine. Not only for vanity’s sake, it also reduced my stress level, releases happiness chemicals and helps me sleep better. So basically I need to stop being such a lump if I want to make progress on this goal.

Food 4 months ago

Given that I have IBS, I know what I eat has an enormous affect on me, yet I haven’t been paying enough attention to what I put into my body. It’s a fine balance between eating what’s healthy and letting myself enjoy the pleasures of food that might not be quite so healthy periodically.

As for today, I brought both breakfast and lunch to work with me, so I didn’t have to eat any mystery caf food.

i have times of self criticism but in most areas i love my body and i love me.



OK 4 months ago

I’ve made peace with my hair. Mostly. And I’m taking vitamins, almost every day. I haven’t done any of the other things on my list. I think next I’ll concentrate on taking work breaks, EVEN ON DEADLINE DAYS!!



We should learn to love what we were born with 4 months ago

Too many of us want to look different or change something about our bodies. Why can`t we be content with what we have because this is what we were given. I`m on a journey to feel better about who I am and what i look like. I think it`s the main key to true contentment.



samjonesxo is getting there! yay..

someone teach me, please.. 5 months ago

I’m a size 8 and still unhappy (i have lost alot of weight over the past 3 years, i used to be a size 14..) but i think i want to be smaller. Eveyone says i have lost weight, but i don’t see it; i only see clothes labels. My goal was always to be a size 8, but now that i’m there; i don’t feel different. I think the only way i might have a chance of loving my body is if i lose more weight..
