I am loving my body the way it is and for so many many reasons. First, because it is ME. And then because it has taken such great care of me for all of my life. I have no complaints at all where my body is concerned. I am healthy, strong, energetic, heal quickly, am attractive and vibrant. So if I am carrying around 90 pounds that I don't want to carry around, then I know what to do about it. Really.
It's just seems that simple. And if for now, I don't feel like doing what needs to be done to release those extra pounds of fat, then that is what is. I am a big believer in embracing what is. I try to do that in other areas of my life, but where my body has been concerned, I'm got all kinds of rules and regs and perfectionistic thinking and judging, etc etc etc
I had a conversation with my son the other day and he was expressing sadness and hurt at the thought that I might judge that what he is accomplishing in his life these days, wouldn't be enough. I reassured him that that was not the case, that I am very proud of him and what he has accomplished, that it and he are more than enough, and he heard me.
The thing is, I know just how he feels, because where it concerns my body/weight/size, I do that to myself all the time. Not enough. That's the message. And at some point, I rebelled against that and said, 'no more'. What is, is, and what is, is okay with me. I love and accept myself and what I do and how I look and who I am.
Now, if I somehow relax enough to choose to do what needs to be done to release the extra weight, then fine. But no strong arm tactics any more.
So here is what I AM doing:
- I'm giving myself loving messages about my body.
- I'm being grateful about various aspects of my physical self
- I am taking good care of myself physically with body brushing, daily exercise (which I love and is NOT a should), drinking water, getting enough sleep, relaxing at various times during the day, eating moderately and honestly
- I am staying off the scale
- I am using energy clearing techniques that work for me to eliminate thoughts, feelings and emotions that make me feel bad---about anything
- I am reminding myself that there is no magic food or diet, or evil food or diet
- I am reminding myself that I created this body I am living in, with the extra weight, because that's what I unconsciously told my body I wanted
- I am reminding myself that if I created this body, I can create a different one by changing what I decide I need and want--my unconscious will again say 'your wish is my command'
- I am asking myself how this larger body still serves me and why I still want it (if I still have it, then that tell me I still want it)
- I am enjoying being alive in THIS body
- I am imagining the new, beautiful clothes I will be buying for myself, NOW
- I am experiencing more and more peace and joy
- etc. etc. etc
Notice that only a couple of tiny pieces of this are about food. The rest is all about recognizing my power to manifest, and the fact that I am not a victim, and am unconditionally loveable. And that Spirit is helping me every step of the way, knows what I really want, and always gives it to me. And I am asking for that help every day.
As I do these things, I notice that my appetite diminishes. I am easily satisfied. It only takes a little bit of what I want for me to feel that my need has been met. And in the meantime, it feels so good to be loved by me!
