THINNER Does NOT Mean Happier

• Thank you for carrying me through the day. Think of your body as a whole, rather than a sum of parts.
• I do _____ because I love my body. Yoga, take bubble baths, get massages. Treat your body well by doing what you love.
• Fat is not a feeling. What are you really feeling? Uncomfortable? Frustrated? Name it honestly. What do you really need?
• Celebrate your fat. Take every opportunity to love your luscious, voluptuous, beautiful, fat-filled curves. Go wild!
• Find yourself in art. Remember that the standards of society change with time. Look at the curvy goddesses of art history (Like Venus)
• Dance. Put on your favorite music and move! Who cares what you look like? Let your body take over. Try it in public, at the mall or grocery store.
• You are not a victim of your body. Our bodies are our one true partners. We are in it together. Be compassionate.
• Be gentle with yourself. Eat when you’re hungry. Rest when you’re tired. Surround yourself with supportive people.
• Exercise with love. Make your body strong and healthy. Do what you do because you love and want to take care of your body.
• Every hallway is a runway. Make an entrance. Hold your head up high and take the room. You’re a rock star.
• Fake it till you make it. Self-love does not happen overnight. It is an ongoing process. So, put on a positive attitude when you’re down on yourself.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
