Loving My Body

I'm working out! Last night I worked out on the treadmill for 43 minutes! I'm so proud. I'm going to get there. The goal is to be healthy - within a normal BMI range for my body weight. I have a long weigh to go. I can't blame having 2 children. I was fortunate that my pregnancies helped me to LOSE weight. For me, weight gain is connected to many factors in my life right now such as...not being in a loving relationship. STRESS is probably the number one thing on my list. Food definitely comforts me - it calms me down on a stressful day/moment. Tiredness also pushes me towards food. Well my life is less stressful. I'm not as tired. I'm coping with being single again. All these things are helping me to lose weight. My affirmation is "I treat myself with kindness." That automatically encourages me to not eat unhealthy "mean" things for my body. I'm taking fish oil for its Omega 3's and I use extra virgin olive oil when I cook. These things are kinder to my body. So far I've lost 4 pounds. I also practice saying, "I love my life. I love me."
