Happy Positive Body Image Day!

i honestly did not know that this day existed until i clicked on to health for the whole self this morning, but i am glad there is.  i would like to take this post to give thanks to my body and all it does for me.

dear body,  thank you for . . .

• blessing me with a larger frame that is able to carry a beautiful amount of muscle which makes me stronger than your average bear
• making sure i get through the day no matter how easy or tough it may be
• blessing me with curvy shapes that do in fact make some people jealous
• forgiving me throughout all of the diet and exercise torture i put you through for absolutely no reason
• for still letting me know when i am feeding you something you like, or dont like and for letting me know when you are satisfied
• letting me know when it is time to rest or letting me know when it is time to get up and GO!
• being healthy and moving freely
• allowing me to try different activities and go to different places
• forgiving me as i sometimes slip up while on a never-ending journey to achieve balance
• being connected to my mind and my soul

i promise to respect you as best i can and never forget that i am nothing without you.
