Okay so I just got my November issue of Glamour today and they had this "finish the sentence" section and it almost made me cry, not because of what people said (even though it was really inspiring) but because of how my body image has changed and how at times I look in the mirror and wonder when my stomach will get smaller or when I can fit into those really cute size 12 skinny jeans that I just bought, when I should be saying I cant believe Im in these size 14 skinny jeans and how my stomach no longer sticks out past my breast. I am no vowing to have the "glass half full mentality" instead of half empty. I am going to be realistic and not say that a negative thought wont pass through my mind but when I do have a negative thought about my body, I will immediately follow it up with 2 positive thoughts. So how about you finish this statement with something positive and see what we come up with

My body is.............

unbelievably strong, after years of being abused by me it is bouncing back quite nicely. Its the only one I have and should be treated as such.

My body is.....

a consequence of MY actions and is now a part of me I appreciate and make an effort to take care of. It is no longer something I loathe seeing in the mirror.

My body is...

made up of all kinds of jiggly bits and I love every one of them because I worked so hard to deflate what was nice plump skin into jiggly bits!

Looks pretty good in clothes-for a 60 year old with
four kids and overate her entire life. Life is getting
better and better. I love my RNY. I am so grateful
to Dr. Castro for doing my re-vision and being there
for me this past year. Wounds are healed-he said my
stomach looks like a shark-I said I am 'Shark-Boy's Grandmother'.

My body is .....

..... a vessel to get me from point A to point B and beyond. And is so much easier to navigate at 147 lbs than at 294 lbs.

My Body is so much better than it use to be......not perfect by any means....but not terrible either for my age. Thank you so much for posting this. We should be happy not to be morbidly obese.

My body is the only one I get and I'm committed to taking better care of it in the future than I did in the past.

My body is unique. There is not another one like mine. I am finally becoming comfortable in this body and I like the feeling of being comfortable in my own skin. . Like you Joan, I will am treating it better after years of neglecting it.

Great post!

My body is mine and I am glad that I can say that there is a little over 100 pounds less of it than there was 4 years ago!

We may not be totally happy with what we've ended up with, I know I hate the saggy skin and muffin tops, but I am far healthier and happier in the wrinkles than I was when it was all filled out!

hugz,
