Think of something that you have done in your life that you feel just awesome about, preferably something that is not related to weight loss. Today’s exercise in Loving Yourself Thin is to think of this “something” every time today that you have any negative thought about your weight or your overeating. Any time that you have a critical thought about yourself or your weight just think of that accomplishment, that “something” that you are proud of.

There is so much more to you than your weight, and although it is very important to care for yourself, lose weight if overweight, and increase your level of health, you aren’t going to gain positive change by criticizing yourself for overeating and gaining weight. This will only serve to increase your negative feelings towards yourself and bring you down.

Remember, in these exercises we aren’t focusing on the physical action that is necessary to achieve lasting weight loss, but instead on increasing the love you have for yourself today. The more you love yourself, the more you will be naturally motivated to care for your body and your health, just as you encourage and want your loved ones to care for themselves.

Loving yourself isn’t about criticism and blame, it is about forgiving yourself for indulging in unhealthy habits and recognizing that you have done the best you could at that time. If criticism of your overeating and weight gain worked, then you wouldn’t have any problem with either your weight or your health today.

Today is Day 12 of Loving Yourself Thin. If this is the first exercise you have done you can find the introduction and a list of all current daily exercises on my blog beginning with day one.

Remain blessed.

    Great Blog k t. Women so often do not realize that they have to love themselves before loving anyone else in this world.

    While weight does become an issue in the loving yourself process, females should look beyond physical appearance to find true self confidence and love.

    I’m proud to say that I love myself !! So should all women.

    You should be the first to recognize that.

    I’m happy to hear that you love yourself. And, you are correct, so should all women, but unfortunately they don’t. Either society or lack of self love doesn’t provide for women to love themselves from within. I am trying to help all women to feel that it is okay to love themselves. It’s okay to give unconditional self love. I give permission for that.

    Remain blessed.
