We are all given this one life, and this one body. We have the willpower to accomplish anything we truly want amongst this world we live in.  So we should love ourselves inside and out take care of ourselves the right way.  I say this because years ago I struggled with body image.  I was not comfortable in my own skin.  My weight was always up and down and I was not happy with myself.  I had a lot of skin issues, and at some point I found myself going to desperate measures to go on all these crazy diets to the point I made myself sick. Before I realized I wanted to pursue my career in the health field I was not aware that in order to get to where you need to be with your health, we should love ourselves first that we will take the proper measures to do the right thing to get to where we need to be.

Additionally, in todays society both men and women are pressured to feel like we have to look a certain way. Social media will go the extra mile throwing it unto our faces that in order to feel good about ourselves, and feel wanted by others we need to look like that model or celebrity. In my eyes, what matters the most is that you are healthy. We all are different which makes us special.  Our body’s come in different shapes and sizes and we owe it to ourselves to take pride for who we are inside and out.

We aren’t perfect people, but that is why everyday we strive to be the best we can. It goes to show when you set your heart and mind to something, you can accomplish anything. Fight and take your health into your own hands and you will be surprised what you can achieve.
