Size Friendly Shopping and Fun |
Sometimes we say that we love other people no matter what they look like, no matter what size they are because it's the inside that counts, and most of the time we mean it but... TRUE acceptance starts with accepting ME. That's one of the hardest things in the world, and steps towards accepting and loving yourself are the most important steps we can ever take in our lives. Your scale does NOT measure your worth! You might say you know this already, but you're already teaching your children that the scale measures their worth as well. Don't tuck the scale away, or hide it in a closet, get rid of the damn thing. Don't let the commercials tell you how ugly you are, and don't let the TV tell you what to eat at the hottest or biggest new restaurant. Don't let anyone tell you how inadequate you are because of the way you look. When you come across anyone or anything that makes you feel bad, tell them to shut up, go away, or proclaim that it doesn't apply to you because you are not an object to be judged. You are a beautiful human being. Make the people and influences in your life treat you well and respect you, and if they can't do that, you don't need them in your life. You are beautiful, worthwhile and important. |
