I ran across a book called FAT!SO?. And I got to say I loved it! And it help me see how I should love me. The book is about self acceptance and self love. It's not say "yeah let's all just be fat". But what it is saying is that no matter what size you are you have the right to be happy with you. Why should you have to wait until you reach a certain size to be happy?? When you can be happy now. And you know what gets me is people that are a good size, not too big, not too small, and they moan and groan about having to lose weight. When most of them are perfectly healthy the way they are. Does skinny equal health? Not in every case. They are also not saying "Just eat all the cake and ice cream you can stand!" although they don't say don't eat ice cream either. Just imagine if you just focused on what's important. Being happy, living well, and eating well. Wouldn't be easier to exercise if you did an activity you enjoyed because you want health and not to reach a size that may not even be fit for you body. So I've decided that's what I'm gonna do. I won't apologize for my size! I'm gonna buy clothes that fit no matter what number is on it. I'm gonna enjoy healthy foods and good exercise without the added pressure of reaching a certain size. Gonna be sooo freeing! I maybe able to actually make friends with my belly whom I've been hating for no good reason. :)
