How many of us have been in this situation? We sit around with our friends and make fun of our bodies in order to hide the way we really feel about the gift that God has given us. It's time to stop the fat talk. It's time to recognize that we need to lift ourselves up instead of knocking ourselves down. Let's stop comparing ourselves to one another, or worse comparing ourselves to the models and actresses we see on TV and in movies and really be thankful that we are healthy and happy and living our life to the fullest NOW, in this moment. Not when we lose the weight. Not when we get rid of our belly fat. NOW.
You are beautiful. Don't be afraid to admit it!
I did my whole senior seminar on women and sports, nutrition and body image...you'd think with all the research I've done that I could deal with my own body image issues, it's so easy to fall into that negativity. Good post Carla!
