Hello all!
My weight is at 108,7kg (239,10 lb) - it went up again.
I know the cause - too much carbohydrates, too much bread with vegan spreads, most of all...
Today I went for a walk of aproximately an hour. I had about a litre of "banana milkshake" made from three very ripe bananas, cacao, and rice&soya drink. For lunch, I made myself some tortellini pasta with vegan "cheese" and much roasted onion. Later I had a half mango (mmmmmmm!) and for dinner, two slices of whole grain bread with vegan spread. After some pause playing The Sims Castaway on my Wii ;) I did various exercises with the Wii Fit and Balance Board, for about 23 minutes. Also planning for some minutes of Zumba after finishing this entry.
For loving yourself, you also have to love your body.
Because this body is given to you for this lifetime.
But how can you love your body when you hate the way it looks?
Are you hating your body for being overweight?
Then think: Your body didn't do this to you - YOU did this to your body!
It is time to apologize.
Undress.
Wholly naked, stand in front of a full-length mirror.
And look at yourself.
Just like me, you might see the scars of the war you have been waging against your body for years.
You might see stretch marks, saggy bags of flesh (produced by more than ten years of yo-yo dieting), a double chin, ... and so on, and so on.
Let's make a truce.
Get some reaffirming body lotion ("Body Tonic")
or damascena rose oil (good against stretch marks, and smells good, too).
And then, inch by inch, rub it into your body. Slowly. Accept your body AS IT IS.
Accept, affirm, apologize, forgive.
When you are done, wrap yourself in a towel, and have a cup of tea.
When the lotion or oil is dry, dress in something soft and comfy.
Do something that brings you relaxation and peace. Listen to relaxing music, meditate.
And tomorrow, you will go for a walk. And do a few minutes of yoga.
AND LOVE YOUR BODY.
