Speak Up: How Did You Learn to Love Your Body?
The ladies over at Glamour asked a bunch of health and fitness bloggers how they learned to love their bodies. I was touched to be included in the group and this is how I responded:
The first time I saw my older daughter imitate me by scowling at herself in the mirror, I knew my relationship with my body had to change. No longer do I focus on "problem areas" when I look in the mirror. Now I revel in the miles my body can run, bike, and swim. By ensuring that my girls love their bodies, I learned to love mine. It was certainly an unexpected gift of motherhood.
Now it's your turn to speak up and share how you learned to love your body.
