In Honor of National Love your Body Day www.loveyourbody.nowfoundation.org
Loving your body this day and age can be one of the most difficult things for a women to do. Why is it such a hard task? Great question! If I new the answer I would probably be making lots of money and I wouldnt have days that I look in the mirror thinking oh I wish I could change (fill in the blank) about myself!
I have learned that on those days we can do a few things to improve our image of ourself and to help us LOVE the Body we were given!
The first thing is ridding our minds of the lies we begin to believe about ourselves. Lies creep in day in and day out, as we compare ourselves to others and as Satan likes to place them in our heads. In order to kick out the lies and replace them with the Truth we have to know the truth!
Here are some truths I am certain of:
1. I are fearfully and wonderfully made in Christ image
2. I am uniquely made to be special and different from anyone else
3. I can identify a list of 5 things we like about myself and why? example: I have legs full of muscle to help me run... even if I want them smaller I can focus on the postive.
4. Fat is a feeling
5. The feeling of not liking my body, I have most likely felt before and it comes and goes. The truth is that my body is no different then yesterday.
6. I am a woman with hormones that play into all the lies, feelings, and fluxuations I have!
Take heart in the list of truths I have found and find your own truths... start by making a list of the things you do love about your body!

6. There are many people that love me and the way I look
