If the idea of shopping for this season's latest trend in jeans is causing grief and anxiety, you are not alone. Unrealistic standards for a woman's bodyweight bombard us from all directions. Many of the images imposed on us everyday cause women to feel that we can't measure up. Airbrushedphotos in magazine ads, underweight models, and promotions for unhealthy weight loss plans are culprits for feelings of discouragement and defeat. These unrealistic images become believable by women of all ages and cause self esteem damage when efforts to match them fail. It's no wonder so many women go through life feeling unhappy with their body. The diet industry greatly benefits from this tactic and generates at least 100 million dollars a year in revenue because women feel desperate to emulate these unrealistic images.
In reality many womenalready have a perfectly healthy and beautiful body. The health industry has provided a standard of healthy body weight quite different from images presented in advertisements. It is time to open ourminds and make a shift that reveals the true variety in beauty. We come in all shapes and sizes and each posses unique beauty. The media will not control our self esteem any longer! A shift of thinking will set our confidence and truth back to reality.
True beauty is in one's essence and emanates from within. Yes, I know you've heard that all your life, (don't roll your eyes, its true!) Have you ever met someone who is physically stunning with no self esteem or personality? I have and honestly, their beauty is fleeting. It's time to believe your beauty emanates from within and learn to live it. This doesn't imply one should stop all efforts to stay physically healthy and fit. However, true power to shine physically develops when thoughts of inadequacy shift to thoughts of self respect, love, and gratitude forone's unique beauty.
Your thoughts are powerful! Use them in your favor to guide you to happy, healthy living. You can heal self sabotage and reestablishing an attainable, real-life positive perspective about your body weight creation simply with the power in your thinking. Thought Has No Calories!
