"I'm not fat But I feel So Heavy, I feel my arms jiggle, I feel too big Uncomfortable in my own skin, I am not fat, But I feel So Heavy, I wish I weighed Nothing at all."
I was the fat kid all my life ( think 5'3'' and ~ 180 lbs and right now at Size 4 and 120 lbs I still feel like the fat kid...Only one in seven Americans feels “body positive.”... It takes women half their lives to achieve half the level of body self-esteem as the average teenage male -- a whopping 66% of teenage girls are either body negative or body ambivalent...Ouch! (Source : Yahoo Health).
So for me, as I strive to lose a couple more lbs, I want to do it while I nourish my body, spirit and mind. I want to remain in shape and get strong - so that I can be a positive role model for my son. I want to remain in shape for myself ...so that I can jump up and dance when I want to, climb the high mountains and see the world upside down from a Yoga posture...body strong, body positive!
I will blog my healthy (and not so healthy habits) for the next 6 months as I slowly but surely make progress. For today I want to share my healthy vegetable haul...
