[blessedbreasts]

I was thinking about what Katana said about my body being mine for the rest of my life, and I realized that I have to be happy about that fact. And I am happy about it, especially when I think of how God has blessed my body. It's intact and capable. I have strong legs that have powered me through track and elliptical machine workouts and allow me to move around even with my 4-year-old niece on my back. My arms were strong enough to lift and help my mother when she couldn't completely move herself on her own. Most of all, it's healthy and I can get out of bed in the morning knowing no one has to help me move through my day because my body is fully functional. I've gotten nothing but compliments on my body in real life. I'm the only person who has said anything bad about it (okay, two people have made remarks about how skinny/bony I am, but I suspect one of them was jealous and I know the other was just showing concern).

I like doing NBE because I feel like I can show some TLC and appreciation back to my body. It's a nice way to show my hardworking, healthy, capable body a little love. So yay for my body, and thank you God that this is the one that I got!

An amazing post! The positivity from it is infectious ❤

Thanks, Katana. After this post, I then went through my day hating how thick through the torso I feel to the point where, by the end of the day, I convinced myself that I'm getting fat and I need to go on a diet. At least I tried.
