How I Learned to Truly Love, Appreciate, and Embrace my Body at Every Shape

Do you love your body for how she looks or how she functions?

I used to base all my self-love, worth & value on the way my body looked

I equated my ability of being a good trainer on how I looked

I equated my ability to be loved & trusted on how I looked

I equated my ability to be seen & acknowledged & appreciated on how I looked

I thought it was the solution to my darkest demons

I thought it could cure my depression, relieve my anxiety, & give me confidence In myself

I thought that the more I focused on how I looked, what I weighed, & my measurements then the more control I had of my life

But then I achieved my first best physique of my life and I still had issues, demons & darkness

What a scam!!! (Lol)

It was only then that I realized this goes so much deeper than surface level

I focused on loving myself & loving my body

One major takeaway that feels fitting to share today is that now approximately only 10% of the love I feel for my body is relative to the way I am shaped

The other 90% is based on my function, feel, & overall unconditional support my body gives me

When I stopped focusing on what my body wasn’t & started focusing on what my body was, I saw that she is the most committed vehicle for my soul

She functions & looks out for me & tries to clean up my messes even when I’m not prepared to stop making them

She is always doing her best with what I give her & willing to look for more resources

She is wired to serve & love me

And I LOVE that about her

The more positive action I take to support her in her purpose the more love I feel for myself

The more I recognize her incredible functions beyond my physique like her ability to transport nutrients throughout my systems, filter out bad air, digest food, repair tissues, fight illness, & SO MUCH MORE... the more I LOVE her

It’s a daily conscious choice to reframe my thought patterns this way

Our brain has this ability to change & create new neural pathways but it takes commitment
