Self-love

As requested, here is one of my articles/exercises that I post to my
mentoring group on another forum.



I love me!!!!!

Can you say that you love yourself? If you don't quite love yourself enough,
weight loss might be a on & off affair for you, or it may be a temporary
adventure that you bail out of after a short period of time.

Loving yourself may not have come easy for you. Often, we may feel as if we
are failures because we are overweight. If we feel like failures, then we
feel worthless and unlovable. You might also feel unlovable because of the
importance that society places on personal appearance. If we don't stack up,
then we have no value, which the media seems to preach from every magazine
cover.

Let's take a good look inside of ourselves and see how much we love
ourselves. If we don't, or love little, WL may stall because of false
beliefs that we just aren't worth it.

Questions to ponder:

How has self-love affected your journey?
How can you love yourself more?
How can this change your journey?

Actions:

List what it is about you that makes you worth self-love.
The hard part: Ask someone else to tell you why you deserve to be loved and
what is your value as a person.

Take it away, and love yourself while you're at it!
