How Do You See Yourself?

I don't usually subscribe to celebrity comments but Tyra Banks had the right idea with the following tips to love-your-body: Find a body part you like and accentuate it. I loved what comedian Joan Cusack said when asked what was her favorite body part was and she replied "my ankles and wrists; they're so consistent". You may have great calves, neck, or waist and it pays to focus on the positive so build a "look" that takes these positives into consideration. Practice positive visualization. You have to know what you want to look like before you can move toward your goal; the more details the better. Splurge and reward yourself with something that makes you feel great but isn't related to food or eating. A massage, a weekend getaway, or maybe some new sporting equipment will do the trick. Surround yourself with people that are good to themselves, upbeat, and willing to focus on what you can accomplish, not where you are now. Write an affirmation and put it somewhere you can see it. It can be something a friend or family member has said about you or something you recently accomplished that leaves you feeling great. As I stated earlier, I am not a fan of models or celebrities but every so often they speak to principles that can work for everyone
