Understand that your love and respect for your body can’t be separated from the love and respect you have for your inner being. The message “I am fat, and unattractive, are internalized. They are a contradiction to weight loss and to your well-being. They are impediments to your fitness goals. No matter what exercise/diet program you engage in you will not have long term success if you internalize these types of thoughts. With that in mind I pledge to:
Stop berating my body and instead celebrate it. Acknowledge that it gives me the ability to experience life,
I pledge to acknowledge that I am not my body. My body is vessels that transports my being through life.
I pledge to change the inner monologue in my head, that says my body is unattractive the way it is right now.
I pledge to care for my body giving it what it needs to function well, i.e: nutritious foods, and enough water to stay hydrated, regular exercise, flexibility training and sleep.
I pledge that when I am tired i will rest.
I pledge to use exercise as a way to improve my overall health versus using it as a weapon against my body.
I pledge to exercise smart vs. hard.
I pledge to understand that my weight is not good or bad. It is just a number.
I pledge to recognize my body’s strengths, and stop dwelling on it’s perceived weakness.
I pledge to not rely on others to define my worth.
I pledge to gently but firmly stand up for myself when someone does or says something unkind to me.
I pledge to no longer put off the things that I wish to experience because I am waiting to do them when I’ve lost weigh.
I pledge to understand that my body, like my personality, is unique, and that it is wonderful, and that I am unique and wonderful the way I am right now!
