It's New Year's Eve, time for us to take stock of the year, and plan for next. It's usually also the time when we make New Year's resolutions. A lot of our resolutions are going to be about physical issues. We'll resolve to hit the gym more, change our diet, start a diet, just eat better, fit into those jeans again, or put on enough weight to be healthy (yes, actually some people struggle to gain weight, and before you get all sarcastic about that problem, you can have just as many medical problems from being too under weight as over weight, just different sides of the same coin). I'll be doing my own gym and nutrition goals for 2014, but right now lets do something that doesn't usually go along with those kinds of goals - let's love ourselves just as we are. That's right, sure maybe my orthopedist has informed me that I need even more muscle around my joints to avoid surgery, but you know what? I love that I can walk, and run, and move. Would I like to lean down and see the abs that I've been working on in gym, sure, but not if it means losing all my curves. I'll be working this year to try and find a balance, but right now, this minute, I'm going to enjoy the roundness, the curves, the shape of me now. Just as, if you're thin and not so curvy you get to enjoy how lean and slender you look. It's all good! Setting our goals to be leaner, or more muscled, or have healthier diets, that's fine, but do it out of love, not hate. Too often I see people hating on themselves, hating how they look now, and never being happy with themselves no matter what size, or shape. Let's stop that, let's love ourselves right now, as we are, and then love ourselves as we work through the year. And while we're at it, no body shaming of anyone, okay? No snide remarks about people being too thin, or too fat, or too anything, be nice. Be nice to others and be nice to yourselves. Think what you like in your head, if you must, but out loud - be kind. Be kind to yourself and others, and lets see if we can enjoy working towards our goals in 2014, just a little bit more. Remember, if you don't love yourself before you put on that extra five pounds of muscle, you're probably not going to love yourself after you've muscled up, so start now, be happy now, and then you'll be at that healthy extra weight and be happier, too.
