A couple of thoughts on body image

I just wrote this long ass post on body image. With definitions, the works.  As you can see, this is not that post. After reading it, it went to the recycle bin.

You want to know what the perfect body is? It’s a healthy body. It’s a body that YOU feel comfortable in.

It’s about finding a way of eating (eating plan, diet, whatever) that works for you. One that suits your lifestyle and one that affects your body in a positive way.

It’s about movement. Our bodies were not designed to sit on the couch the whole day. Get out there and get moving. Decide whether you want to run a marathon or just be able to run around in the garden with your kids. Then do what will get you there.

Stop judging others for their choices. Let them do what works for them. Or not, for that matter. You do what works for you! Do what will make you a happier and healthier person.

It’s all about balance. I need balance. I want to get to that place where I can run that race and eat that ice cream. That is what I want to teach my child.

xoxo

  1. Such wisdom, the end goal should always be what makes YOU happiest. Ironman is for me, don’t judge me for commiting so much of my life to it. And I won’t judge you for never wanting to do more than the moms race at school. You know? We need to start loving and supporting each other regardless of whether their choices make sense to us.
