What they see they repeat and we want our beautiful daughters to be confident no matter what their size or shape. I have always been very athletic and had a jock frame, not a model frame so I was always 125 or more when my average friend was 100lbs. I was very conscious of it. Muscle weighs more than fat but when your younger it's the number on the scale that usually is the hardest to overcome, still now I HATE scales! I try to go by how my cloths feel and ditch the scale on a regular basis. It should not be a meter to decide your mood for the day!! You make another good point in trying to figure out why we eat if not for survival. We should think Eat to Live not Live to Eat, if it were that simple! I ran again today and it was just that much easier once again, so I am back on track with taking some much needed 'me' time! Thanks Janet, love hearing your view!

I feel the same about you! I agree about the shift that takes place sometime around 40 and yes it is hard sometimes to deal with our aging bodies when in our minds we are still seeing ourselves from years past. It takes time to get used to I suppose like most change usually does. I 'm a work in progress for sure like many women in their midlife celebration! I absolutely love how you said "what makes us beautiful is the richness of our spirit" that is beautiful and so true. Thanks for making me smile so bright today! xoxo Thank you Bella!

I just wish for me that it hadn't taken until I was 40 to really get it. I try to think of ways to teach/reinforce with my young daughter that exact point. To be confident about who she is, love who she is for how she is inside and out. Has the damage been done to her for what she may have overheard me say about my body (I hope not). I think I've kept it pretty internalized. I've always been conscious about comparisons. I remember when I was a 15, and in the locker room after gym class, and the girls were complaining about how fat they were. Average weight was 115, I at the time was 125...so...I thought...if they're fat...what makes that me? I was quite embarassed and prayed I didn't get asked. I did admit my weight..they were shocked...apparently I carry it well. As women, why do we need to compare ourselves to someone else? Also, I am trying to not only think about what I'm eating....but why! You know...boredom....unhappiness...stress. I have realized that when bored I eat...well...when I'm lonely/unhappy too {giggle}. Being aware, and not beating up ourselves those 'uninhibited moments', letting go of our images, and loving who we are - it truly is a balance. Here's wishing you all balance.
