Unfortunately, from childhood, women are subconsciously encouraged to verbally express dissatisfaction to the very body that has to last us a lifetime. Who or what can flourish in negativity? Nothing! No wonder our bodies turn on us! We have told it such terrible things and criticized it, and not loved and accepted its curves and sexiness, and appreciated its very important role in containing our spirit!
Having had a weight problem all my life, I cursed and criticized myself. I never lost one pound behind it, and always felt inferior when comparing myself to slender friends or images on TV and in magazines. I learned to get past all that, and learned to love and accept my body years ago. Turns out it was the best thing that could have happened. That way I could love myself. It also made it easier for others to love me.
We won’t all be naturally slender, tall, with perky breasts, a flat stomach, shapely legs and hips, and all those body parts that spell “perfection” to a world of folks who could care less about us. So what? We are perfect in God’s eyes. He fashioned us wonderfully and I am thankful for this body I have. Thanks for reminding us!
