I often struggle with body image issues. I'm human. I think those thoughts of "not skinny enough" and "not toned enough" come up daily now that I'm in a high stress time of my life: getting married. Pinterest (my love, I am not dogging Pinterest) draws in all kinds of stressors. Perfect pictures of perfect weddings for perfect people with perfect hair and perfect bodies and its enough to drive you crazy with envy. It makes you want the Pinterest-perfect wedding, which necessitates the Pinterest-perfect body. So I run 5 days a week. I eat KALE! I look in the mirror and sometimes don't feel any better.
That's not a body-fat problem, thats a ME problem. But I am lucky to know the difference. Other women and young girls are not so lucky.
Thats why it is so important for high-status women to tell the truth about loving yourself how you were made. I'm thankful for two new videos out there in YOUTUBE-land. Both make me extremely happy.
As a sister of Delta Phi Epsilon, Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders is one of our three philanthropies, and the one I keep nearest my heart. Children I teach in camps as young as 5 develop eating disorders, and have feelings of inadequacies. Its an epidemic I hope we can squash without the use of medicine, and more so with the use of love and compassion and non-judgmental thoughts on our fellow women. I'm proud to promote awareness of this organization, and spread joy and acceptance for the skin you are in.
We are all beautiful. NO TREBLE.
