I am the worst about criticizing my pictures. Every one I see of myself I try and find what I don't like about it. I have often found myself wanting to delete pictures the girls have taken of me. These are two examples of ones I wanted to just erase off my camera. But I didn't. You wanna know why? Because I need to remind myself that no matter what weight I lose, how fit I become, if I don't love the body I am in, I am never going to be happy. I love that my girls are so free with their compliments. They never fail to tell me how beautiful I look. I would love to see myself through those kind of eyes. I want them never to see their mommy putting herself down. I want them to see me and learn about positive body image. I need to make sure that they know that they are so much more then a number on a scale.
I am beautiful. I am strong. I am loved.
What a good attitude to put out there for your girls!
