As a Personal Trainer, I always get the same thing, I want to look good in a bikini. Or, I hate my thighs! I hate how I look so, I deal with my weight. I will never look like I want to. And the list goes on and on.
The reason why I am bringing this up, is that, when you look in the mirror, how often do you say, "How is my heart working for me?" "Are my kidneys and liver working the way they should?" "I wonder if my bones will keep me up when I'm 70 and older?" "Will I get cancer?" "How are my sugar levels?"
The answer is, no. Why is that? If we all looked at ourselves in that way, then our physical appearance will change. What can we do to change? The key is education on how to eat and how to see yourself in the way we all should. A hard working machine that needs to carry us out through the rest of our lives and our body/machine has a lot of work to do to keep up.
The thinking of our bodies needs to change for us and the future of our children. Start taking away processed foods, drink more water, take away soda and juice. Switch out milk for soy or almond milk. Eat at least a pound of vegetables a day. Eat more seeds and raw nuts. Don't fry, saute using water. These are just a few examples of how we can start a change in ourselves for the long run.
Enjoy, who you are and look at yourself differently next you look in the mirror and ask yourself the questions listed above.
XOXO Love yourself!!
