Are you a confident person in most areas of your life?  Are you confident in your job, how you run your family life, your relationships with your friends and colleagues?  But there is one area in your life that you have never been able to master – how you look – your body image.  Maybe you don’t have an ideal body image - you are not happy with your tummy, or butt or legs.  You could be the ideal weight for your height but you still may have an issue with your flabby arms or chunky calves.  You berate yourself and feel irritated whenever your body is in the spotlight even if it’s just what to wear for a family dinner out or looking at the holiday photos.  You feel like a slob and out of control even though you are in control over many other critical parts of your life.  This one area of body image can utterly dominate your thoughts and diminish your self confidence totally, whilst belittling the control you have on 99% of your life. 

"Remember, happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think." Dale Carnegie 1888-1955, Writer and Lecturer

You need to take a step back and look at your life in total.  Look at it as though you are an observer.  Take stock, audit your body. Okay you might need to lose some weight. Contact your doctor’s surgery.  It’s a high priority worldwide.  They will advise you on how much you need to lose. You can find a plan that suits you and take action and follow it through.  But maybe you are at a healthy weight but the only imperfections are in your eyes. You need to re-evaluate how you see yourself and how you treat yourself. 

Make your inner speak to yourself positive and kind. It’s your body you have to live in every day, love your body, treat it well.

“If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year. Today should always be our most wonderful day."Thomas Dreier Author

Forgive yourself, the past is the past, you can’t change it.  Move on, learn from past but don’t dwell on it. Change how you think about your body. It’s yours be grateful and get your ideal body image.

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored." Earl Nightingale 1921-1989, Author and Radio Announcer

You body image can affect your overall love of life.  You are only here once (supposedly).  Put your body image in perspective.  It’s just a part of your life.  Look at your body audit you did earlier, put it in perspective with the rest of your life.  Be optimistic about your life, trust your body.  Overcome any confidence crisis that has been caused by your body image. It’s your body.  Learn to love it. Allow yourself to live in the body you want, with the ideal body image you need. Start living life at the 100% level. Love life.
