Embrace Balance

Reaching your “goal body” will not be enough if you damage your self image.  I watched the hyped documentary “Embrace” and felt very frustrated.  Why must we go to such extremes?  We are so quick to blame the media for undersized models, yet the response is to promote an equally unhealthy oversized body? (I support neither to clarify).  Why is it so difficult for us to embrace balance?  Why is a healthy BMI the least supported image?  If you truly love and respect yourself you don’t strive to starve yourself or overeat.  Don’t exercise or diet because you ate too much yesterday or hate the reflection in the mirror.  Respect the body and health you have been blessed with while you have the opportunity to.  You don’t need to go to extremes to have a healthy body, mind and spirit.  Embrace balance.
