No matter what your scale says, being comfortable in your own skin is up to you. It can be tough, in a society that prizes unrealistic images. But it's possible, and it starts with what you say when you look in the mirror. Retrain your brain on how to think. Be positive about your body and reflection in the mirror. And yes, tell yourself you are beautiful, even if you don’t believe it at first, because the goal is to turn those bad thoughts into good ones.
And don’t get hung up on the number on the scale. Pay attention instead to how you feel. And swap weight-loss goals with fitness goals. Work toward a goal you can accomplish, like 100 Pilates classes, your first barre class or running your first 5k. Choose an exercise you love, it will help you stick with it. Added bonus. Doing something you love will make you see your body in a different light.
Also, cut yourself some slack and forget perfection or ridged rules. "Healthy" comes in all shapes and sizes, so do not compare yourself to others. Always remember, it's essential to love the body you're in.
