Loving your body means accepting the dive4rsity of human bodies, and recognizing that no one should be discriminated against because of the shape of their bodies.

It means celebrating your uniqueness and your many abilities. And making friends with the mirror on the wall.
Throw away the scale. Weigh yourself only when medically necessary. Even then, you can choose to ignore the number if you want.

Reject fattism in yourself and in others. Recognize that healthy, beautiful bodies came in all shapes and sizes and are gifts from heaven with your help.

Invest time and money in yourself rather than in the diet industry. Spend your money on beautiful clothes, jewelry, haircuts, manicures, and massages – not on trying new diets.

Surround yourself with size-friendly people. Choose friends who accept you that way you are and support the lifestyle changes you want to make.

Stand tall and proud. Straighten your stance and feel energy, strength and confidence flow from your head to toes.

Put your mind in touch with your body to heighten your confidence and body awareness.
Clothe your body in beautiful, comfortable clothes that fit.

Read magazines that feature large, fashionable men and women in all kind of clothes.
Be patient with your self. Old habits die hard and changes may take a while to become permanent fixtures in your life.

Maximize you safety and comfort. Search pout the right stuff; in your food choices look for equipment that works, explore shoes that fit, clothes that move with you and location that feel safe when exercising.
Be flexible and jump into a variety of physical activities. Dance, garden, bike, swim, walk or lift weights – anything that you enjoy and that fits your lifestyle.
Listen to your body. Take rest days and change your activities based on what feels good at the moment. Before you know it you are fitting better into your clothes and you are in full control of your self.

Size acceptance in clinical practice and health promotion emphasizes the inherent pleasure and the many health enhancing benefits of a pleasurable activity.
This includes sports, fun exercises like ballroom dancing and any movement independent of any reduction in weight.
It encourages social suppor5t, size acceptance, positive self esteem and healthy and sensible eating. Dieting and weight preoccupation is discouraged and weight is not measured.
So change the exercise word into enjoyment, just move it.
ENJOYMENT, NOT EXECISE
Change the “E” word in exercise to enjoyment. Choose physical activities that you love to do and you’ll never forget to exercise a day in your life.
Moving your body means returning to the joy of childhood play. Means forgetting all the rules and sweating off via exercise. Change the concept from grueling work-out to zestful play time.
Feel the power. Celebrate the inner strength and sense of well being that come from allowing your body to experience the joy of movement.
Make fitness a priority. Plan family and personal vacation around fitness, or incite a colleague to “do business” over a walk rather than over lunch, coffee or drinks.

Feeding your body simply means learning to enjoy the power of positive eating. It means learning to relate to food as a nourishing friend rather than a fattening enemy.
Following are some ways to feed the body:
• Slowdown and savor the flavor of food. Treat every bite as a gourmet feast/
• Eat when you are physically hungry and stop when you are satisfied.
• Plan ahead. Take time to plan meals and snacks for yourself.
• Recognize the flexibility of normal eating. Normal eating means you eat little too much sometimes, and eat just enough on another.
• Enjoy fresh foods, fruits and vegetables; salads with vinaigrette dressing, high complex carbohydrates like rice, pasta, noodles and corn; meat, poultry, fish and low fat dairy products.
• Experiment with new foods and new menus. Taste-test the amazing variety of options in the groceries. Learn to read labels, the calories per serving is important (not the sugar or no cholesterol).
• Dump fad diets forever! Eliminate the word “diet” from your vocabulary and form your mind-set. Use new eating pattern in lieu of the dieting word.
