It's my second winter here in Colorado- and it's SO very dry. Yesterday, for the first time in my life I had to put on body lotion.
(Not me- just what I think avoiding the mirror looks like)
"Whose leg is this?! And where in the heck did this tummy come from? How long has that roll been on my back?"
I don't know my body. Is this why it was easy for the weight to creep on? (It didn't actually creep....I gained over 70 pounds in one year after an ovarian cyst was removed), but this lack of relationship- was that how I have been able to carry around this extra 70 pounds for 4 years?
My denial is called clothing. But my denial...I can't wear it in the bedroom. So denial turns into avoidance. So denial and avoidance no more. This January I took before pictures...nude. And I think I will continue to put on body lotion this winter- and when the weather warms up, I think I will put on some nice sun screen, because I will need it when I'm in my bathing suit.
Do you have a relationship with your body? Do you think if you did- it would be easier for you to lose weight? Do you think if you did- you would begin the journey to loving yourself and never turning back on your wellness journey?
