Love, honor and respect your body

What do you think when you look in the mirror? Do you smile and feel good about yourself, or do you curl your lip and snarl back at what you see? How you respond to what you see in the mirror has a strong impact on your life, whether you realize it or not. And after all, it's only the wrapper you came in.

With all the talk about the masses of women who hate their bodies on a daily basis, and living with my own self-hatred for over thirty years. I decided to do a bit of research to see what the origin of "perfect" was.

You have a Choice – Everyday

I've had a very busy few weeks and finally have some time today to be more reflective. Typically when we don't take time to tune in and stay conscious it's easy to fall back in to bad habits which can lead to negative thinking. But it really is all about choice.

Eating Disorders — Mind and Body Disconnect

Lori Hanson — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:18:00 +0000

Eating disorders are a growing epidemic. When I was a young girl in the `70's and discovered how bingeing could make me feel better by taking me away from reality I had never heard of the term bulimia. It wasn't until the early `80s that I read an article about bulimia and started to wonder if I was bulimic.

Those are for the most part, conscious choices.

My life was consumed with body image and an obsession called bulimia for 23 years. Then I spent the next 10 substituting alcohol for food binges, but didn’t realize it until much later. Our society is obsessed with the “perfect body”. We all watch our favorite ultra-thin actor or musician and want to be just like them.
