Here is the headline for an article posted in the "WASHINGTON" March 29 (UPI) – "Women would rather get their teeth drilled than shop for a new bathing suit, a report said.”
Can you believe that?!? Wow. This is as real as it gets. Most women feel so unhappy with their bodies that they would choose dental surgery over bathing suit shopping. In the above mentioned article, one woman said “It’s the fact that we no longer have the bodies of 18-year-olds”.
This is a topic women do not take lightly. We look at younger bodies in those tiny bikinis wishing we looked the same, or do we? I think what most women really wish for is to feel comfortable in their own bodies.
We typically want to wear the clothing in our closet that doesn’t fit. Many of ourclients are ecstatic when they can fit into outfits they haven’t worn for years. They have a sense of accomplishment and increased confidence.
Truly, will we ever look like those 18-year-olds? Probably not. But can we look better, feel better, have more confidence, feel sexy, and fit into some of our favorite outfits we haven’t worn for years, DEFINITELY!
I think it’s more about learning what is realistic for the time we have and the lifestyles we lead. Allocating just a small amount of time each day towards our physical well being yields enormous results. It really doesn’t take a lot to look and feel better.
Just like everything else in your life it's all about planning. Your time for fitness should be an appointment in the calendar. Prepping healthy foods for the week should be as well. Select a certain day and time to prepare your healthy lunches and snacks. Grab & go is the key!
All you have to do is decide. Make the decision to give yourself the gift of movement, activity, and exercise. You'll be so glad you did!
