My body is a temple

I will RESPECT and HONOUR my body.
It is beautiful and able.
I will give it the clean, delicious fuel it craves, when it craves it.
I will take it out to play, letting it strengthen and grow like it deserves.
I will look in the mirror and say "thank you," because this body, my body, has brought me to where I am,
and will be there through every drop of sweat
every pounding step
every breath, rep, and curl
giving me everything it has so I can become the very best version of myself.

    Love it, every woman should say this to herself until she believes it and acts on it.

    I might print that out and tape it to my mirror or fridge. Lovely. Thank you for sharing that.

    It wasn't until I convinced myself of something similar that I was able to be successful in my goals.

    That about sums it up. No more poisoning my body. It took me 40 years to figure this out. So impressed that you have figured it out at 20 xxxxoooo!!

    I love this. I've been stressing this point for soooo long. Your body responds to everything you tell it and gives back to you what you give it. I find it a tragedy that there are so many gorge:happy: ous people on this site with such negative body images but the beauty part is that many are learning to love their bodies.

    I'm fairly certain that this is my most.favorite.thread EVER!!! :drinker: :heart: :happy:
