OMG! I am seriously loving what this woman is saying. As a woman who went on her first diet at 18, because someone said to her 55, 125lb frame--I bet you you cant lose 10lbs in a week and look how much better you would look at 115! And because I wanted to impress this person...I took that challenge. I lost 8lbs that first week...and so the struggle began. 26 years of yo-yo dieting. Working so hard, denying myself, being freaking miserable...to attain the weight that society (and yes unfortunately my family and some friends) thought I should be at. And why? Because I didnt love myself. Because I was taught that being fat was wrong and I wasnt worth it. Being compared to my sister, whom I love dearly--but honestly...our body compositions/genetics couldnt be more opposite--and not measuring up to her taller more slender frame. Being moo-ed at! Yes it happened. Do I blame them? No...because I chose to take on their ideas. However...NO MORE! I will pledge to eat healthier, but no diets. I will exercise....because when Im done it makes me feel awesome. I will...as she says in the video..pay attention to mindful eating. I will NO LONGER live by the number on the scale or the size of my clothes. I am a beautiful, talented, intelligent, strong and inspiring woman who FINALLY after several decades...loves myself. Moderation, exercise and a release of societys expectations...and I would be willing to bet that next year that pesky scale will probably show a lower number. But will I live by it? NEVER AGAIN! Have I portrayed this attitude before on FB or anywhere for that matter? NO...I havent. But I am now! And yes I will exercise and yes I may post about it...but only because I truly love how I feel when Im done. I release myself today to loving myself and worrying about myself and how I feel only. And if the rest of the world wants to make comments about my weight....my answer will be like Rose---who in a video I posted a few weeks ago--while buckling herself into her car seat, says to her Dad...You worry about yourself!
