Today, I have decided to love my fat belly!

I know!

 

Tomorrow I will hate it again, but I've thought long and hard about how I could accept it for now and love it. It's a part of me! I have to love it! Or, at least manage it. 

I'm going to take Epsom salt or Rock Salt baths, throw in essential oils and RELAX. 

Take peppermint oil after a meal. 

Wear yoga pants on those bad days where it is huge and with my yoga pants, I will wear high heels, a pretty flowing top and makeup. If I feel like it. 

I will buy maternity jeans, as my belly goes up and down they move with it. At least these jeans will fit my butt, as with bigger pants my cute butt is lost!! I will also dress in pretty flowing blouses when it larger and detract the eye away from this very large (loll) problem area. 

My goal will be to walk for 20 or 10 minutes twice daily. If I can't, due to exhaustion, I will read or do something I love. 

I will paint my toes nails, or my fingernails and feel pretty all over. 

I will cultivate my inner child and try and have fun and do things  I love. I have spent a lifetime caring for others. 

I will get a sign to hang on my bedroom door saying 'gone fishing' or 'out to lunch' whatever, to have those times alone, or when I need to rest and sleep. 

I will drink warm water and lemon juice upon waking. (It makes you pee!)

I will on some days make diuretic smoothies with parsley and all sorts of goodies I like (just add apple juice or fruit juice if you hate the idea. They are quite tasty). 

I will say 'no' more often and not feel bad. 

I will understand that my belly is just one part of me, I happen to have lovely eyes, I wish I had lovely hair! but I have lovely legs too. I will show these off to the best of my ability. 

as Sophia Loren says, beauty is not physical it is how one feels inside. 

I will do this one day at a time. If you have any to share please do and GOD BLESS. XX

    Callianne, thank you for this... I have been feeling very anxious about my annual gyn checkup next month.  I feel embarrassed by struggling with my weight, especially around the middle, and had this crazy idea about getting in lots of exercise and losing a few pounds before then.  Well, guess what... I fell and sprained an ankle last week... have had to be very careful.  But you know, I see that I've really let myself go, not styling my hair or painting my nails or fun things that would help me look and feel better.  So you've given me an idea to start doing that and especially to look really nice when I go for the checkup.  A step at a time, a day at a time. 💕
