Love your body

Waking up and liking the way i look, that doesnt happen everyday. I mean for most of the time, i like the way i look.... i mean i see my flaws and see things which i want to be different. And then theres times where i compare myself to every girl i see.

    But today, and over the past few days i have just loved the way i look. I havent see any flaws. And even when i was bloated from lots of food& hormones. I just didnt care. I mean, generally i dont care... but this was different.

I like/love the way i look. I dont want to change anything... if i could jsut stay this way. I have never strived to look a certain way. I mean, when i was sick, i never strived to look like skin and bones. I was just so scared of gaining weight and eating, that the weight dropped off of me. I generally just hated myself, felt fat and felt the need to lose weight, but i never really looked at thinspo. I didnt have a goal body, or goal image. I just had hate towards myself and my body.

   

And now with exercise and strength training, i dont have any goals to look a certain way. Exercise is something i love, and i do put up goals like being able to do this, or lift that certain about of weight, or run this far etc. But not any goals like having a six pack, or x % body fat or weighing a certain amount. Those things i can honestly say i dont care about.

   

And i think that makes me more accepting and loving of my body. Because im not striving to look a certain way, and sure, i do compare myself at times. But i guess thats just normal? 

    My body isnt a project which i try to mold. Instead, im living my life. I have school, friends, family, my workouts... i dont spend time longing to look a certain way. Or counting calories or caring what i eat.

   

Infact, i have tried different types of diets (i.e intermittent fasting/ calorie restriction etc ) but those dont work for me....

  the only diet that works for me, is eating the foods i like, and eating when im hungry. Whether thats eating 200g salted nuts & yoghurt and quark, or just eating a fruit for a snack. Somedays i eat 4 meals, while other days i spend the whole day just snacking.... and for me, that works. It works for my life. It works for my health. I feel good. Everyday is different. And my body works well, and my mentality is also good.

   So finding what works for you, is very important. Because if you have a good diet, then it will mean you have energy and feel good in your body!!
