A Shift in Perception: Body Positivity

How much time have you spent trying to get the perfect body? Months? Years? Decades?

And how much time have you spent trying to love your body exactly as it is?

This is something that has been going through my head lately. I’ve done the most intense workouts, and I’ve followed the strictest nutrition plans. Yet through all of this, I have never achieved that “perfect body” that I’ve been after since I was a teenager. At my best and at my worst, there is always this nagging feeling that I am failing that goal.

What if it’s not the efforts that are a problem, but the goal itself? What if the goal was not to have a six pack or a thigh gap, but to be comfortable with yourself exactly as you are?
