You aren't going to change overnight. The 20 pounds you would like to lose isn't going to disappear just because you wish it away. Nor will you change the shape of your eyes, the wrinkles that represent a life well lived or the extra skin your children so lovingly left after their births.
Every part of our imperfect bodies is beautiful and sacred. Try to embrace, love and cherish the amazing body you possess. It might not be what you envision as perfection, but it is perfectly you. Work each day to care for, nurture and treat your body well. It is the only one you will be provided and the better you treat it the more efficiently it will work for you.
Try not to slip into negative self talk, compare your body to that of others or set unrealistic expectations for yourself. Express gratitude for all the amazing things your body does each moment to provide you the ability to move, see/hear/taste things and experience life to the fullest. Whether you are tall, short, a size 2 or 22 you are perfectly you. Each of us is amazingly unique and beautiful. Don't let anyone or even yourself tell you otherwise.
