We are our worst critics! There's always something or some part of us we do not like or are unhappy about. One has to look at beauty magazines or go online and we are dazzled by images of perfect, six packed, slender celebs all looking glamorous, but we really don't understand how much time and effort they put into looking so good.....sometimes the images are even airbrushed and we all know that and yet, we still criticize ourselves!
I'm constantly hounded by comments from both friends and clients such as-
"I hate my legs!"
"I'm so fat, it's disgusting"
"I hate my body, I cant even fit into my clothes"
What we don't understand is that these words are actually disturbing in the sense that they are roadblocks to your journey of attaining your goals. The amazing part is, I often get these comments from either sized people - fat or skinny, we are all the same.
In fact, quite recently, I met a client who wanted to go on a "super fast" cleanse to lose like 8kg. Problem was, she is a UK size 8. But as far as she was concerned, she had abdominal fat and her thighs were enormous. Of course I refused to place her on the Plan. Yes it would have been nice to earn a few bucks from her, but the truth was whether she went on the cleanse or not, she would still have the same problem as what she really needed was to exercise and do a few core defining workouts as well as squats to build her thighs and maybe restrict a few carbs she was loading on.
A lot of us walk around unhappy about our bodies, dreaming of having the perfect bodies, but our lifestyle says nothing of those dreams as we sabotage getting results by bingeing, eating fast food daily, drinking alcohol and not getting enough sleep.
We all have human flaws. What makes a great difference is to decide to either improve on what you have OR accept what you have.
Take a moment and reflect on how harsh you are about your Imperfections. If you are on a path to bettering yourself, realize that these negative thoughts will only hold you down. Cos sweetie.......There is no perfect and even if you were perfect, it wouldn't make you happy!
