constantly confused
I've been thinking a lot about my body, it's had a hard time of late!
The fantasy of losing weight is very different to the reality. You don't imagine yourself with wobbly bits and cellulite!
The thing is, my body has never let me down. It's done everything I've asked of it (apart from learning to fly when I was 5) and it's enabled me to do the things I want to do. It works, well most of it does anyway!
It might not be a porche, and it might never be a porche, but it's not a robin reliant on the junk heap either.
It's a Skoda. People might judge it because it isn't what they think it should be, they might even laugh at it, but that's their problem. It is reliable, in good mechanical order and it gets me where I want to go. One not-so-careful lady owner!
I'm going to make a pledge to my body, to give it the respect it deserves.
I wont poison it with petrol instead of diesel, I will make sure it's clean, polished and waxed to show other people that I value it. I will make sure it gets the right fuel, and I'll never prioritise watching Eastenders over taking the time to prepare premium unleaded for it!
My reward for reaching my goal will be a charm bracelet, and I'm going to choose a charm to symbolise my pledge.

I thought I'd post that here, because we spend so much time thinking about how are bodies look, and not about how they work
