Letter to Myself (And You! :) )

You are a strong, capable, wonderful person. You have decided to become more healthy, more fit. While your weight plays a part of that, it is not the only part of it.

If, starting today, nobody's BMI were capable of changing-- what would you do differently? What would you STOP waiting to do? Would you still change your diet? Your exercise patterns? If you were always going to wear the same size jeans, would you learn to love yourself as you are and take better care of your body?

Weight loss shouldn't be the end goal. It should be the means to the end. So congratulate yourself on eating vegetables instead of chips. Take that dance class. Wear a bathing suit when you go to the beach. Stop: covering yourself up; putting yourself down; putting yourself off; comparing yourself to others; waiting until you are the perfect weight.

You are unique, talented, creative, and full of possibilities. You should let yourself shine, regardless of your body hang ups. Go get 'em, tiger. Rawr. ;)
