Thanksgiving Hot Take: I am thankful for this body at this size.

In the past I haven't always been very kind to my body and that type of thinking has definitely been to blame for a lot of my yoyo-ing weight. So, this time around, I'm trying to keep in mind that I'm doing this to show myself love!
So this Thanksgiving I am thankful for this body at this size.

I am thankful to age as gracefully as I can.
I am thankful for its ability to heal everything from small cuts to broken bones and concussions.
I am thankful for experiencing art and music.
I am thankful for tears, both in joy and sadness.
I am thankful for dancing.
I am thankful for long walks in new (to me) cities and neighborhoods.
I am thankful for kisses and hugs and petting the cat.
I am thankful for my curves.
I am thankful for this body and this life!

  • I have a gratitude journal normally I write that I’m thankful for so many things in my life . For the first time I’m celebrating my new journey taking better care of myself. Tomorrow I am thankful for myself I’m pampering myself doing what I want to do. Not doing what society or family tells us to do . For the 1st time I’m making it my day tomorrow by :
    - not over eating, exercising at home with my PJs on, home facial , bubble bath, putting nativity figures outside, etc ...
