I read something about goals--since we probably all have some kind of resolution about losing weight. Maybe 5 lbs, maybe 50--but weight nags at almost every human being in America (maybe even my cat, who acts like its just a furr ball, but I worry she's bulemic!)
Anyway, this "goals" suggestion said to make something into a process, a kind of game you can enjoy, instead of having some goal out in the future. So, for example, instead of "losing 10 pounds by next December and getting in shape" turn it into something like "I will be kind to my body in some way every day" and then think of things you can do--like yoga, getting a massage, going for a walk, eating something healthy, having a pedicure, lifting weights, taking a relaxing bath...mix it up and make it into more of a mind changing and nuturing process instead of a beating up of ourselves day in and day out.
I know everyone on this site is beautiful on the inside and we need to be kind to ourselves, especially after having been betrayed by the one person who was supposed to be by our side no matter what. So, Fig and everybody else who doesn't feel like your outside isn't Sports Illustrated perfect (and that would be ALL of us), let's all just look for ways to feel better and more relaxed about how we look and to make our bodies more healthy by being KIND to them--however that seems to work out in each of our own ways.
