I'm big into fitness and health and believe that daily exercise is good for everyone, but only for the health benefits do I encourage people to exercise.<br /><br />I was reading an article last night in Self magazine about the new LA diets many stars are on. They don't use the word "diet", but call it a cleansing. Anyway, what they are doing is using one of many cleanses where they are basically starving themselves. These can be so dangerous, yet they do them to be a size 0. <br /><br />Even though I believe everyone should exercise, I'm glad you posted this and that the previous followers who have posted seem to be content with their bodies. That is the right frame of mind to have...be thankful for what God has blessed us with and not dwell on what we don't have. Because afterall, are those skinny size 0 celebrities any happier than we are? I think not!<br /><br />NancyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601073005728827355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-48223513051695611702009-08-06T08:27:23.439-05:002009-08-06T08:27:23.439-05:00Wait until you gals turn sixty.

Becau...We are so very hard on ourselves...and why? Because we have an image, a perception of what beauty is or what is acceptable because of what "media" has provided. That's why I love the Dove ads...beauty is so much more than firm thighs, white teeth and tight skin. Beauty is what lies within, that shines out.<br /><br />I've come to accept my 52, nearly 53 year old body. It has given me 2 beautiful children, it has seen me through a splenectomy, 2 c-sections, 2 breast cancer surgeries...and I see how wonderful my body is. It sags, it bags, I really need to be more fit and athletic but what I know is this...every scar and every lump and bump has been earned...the hard way. Trust me, I didn't come to this overnight...it took time. And it was worth it!! ♥Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-63946207569341360882009-08-06T08:02:43.700-05:002009-08-06T08:02:43.700-05:00Hi Kathy!

I can convince myself that I'm 30 pounds overweight but that's just not the truth. Why do we do this to ourselves? It's really a burden in your mind and I wish there was a way to turn off that switch that makes us talk negatively to ourselves.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
