I VOW TO...NEVER QUIT.

Recently I got a little side tracked with my journey to body peace and forgot about the goals I should be trying to accomplish and improve on. Instead I went backwards rather than fowards, so I thought I would remind myself and put the new Body Peace list up since a few new things have been added to it since I decided to accept this challenge. Re-Reading these goals and seeing the new ones filled me with hope and determination because I know they're attainable. I know I can do it if I stay focused and work hard. I want this more than anything. I want to make these goals habits and become the best version of myself that I can be. I want to be able to look in the mirror and have a great big smile on my face because I feel beautiful and I'm happy with who I am from the inside out. I WILL get there. I WON'T QUIT.

 

I VOW TO...

·          Do the little things that will keep my body healthy, like walking instead of hanging on the couch, or drinking water rather than something sugary.

·          Appreciate what makes my body different from anyone else's. I love that I'm unique on the inside; I will try to feel that way about the outside too!

·          Wear makeup only when I want to and it feels fun. I won't use it to hide the real me!

·         Accept that my body will go through changes, and that's okay.

·          Support my friends, who just like me, have their own body issues. Hey, we're all in this together!

·          Put my energy toward the things in life I care about instead of wasting another ounce of it on my insecurities.

·         Remember that the sun will still rise tomorrow even if I had one too many slices of pizza or an extra scoop of ice cream tonight.

·         Never blame my body for the bad day I'm having.

·         Stop joining in when my friends compare and trash their own bodies.

·         Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how I feel about my appearance.

·         Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks — even if it seems harmless — because I'd never want anyone to do that to me.

·         Notice all the amazing things my body is doing for me every moment I walk, talk, think, breathe...

·         Quiet that negative little voice in my head when it starts to say mean things about my body that I'd never tolerate anyone else saying about me.

·         Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads — it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that.

·         Remember that even the girl who I'd swap bodies with in a minute has something about her looks that she hates.

·         Respect my body by feeding it well, working up a sweat when it needs it, and knowing when to give it a break.

·         Realize that the mirror can reflect only what's on the surface of me, not who I am inside.

·         Know that I'm already beautiful just the way I am.

·         Not let my size define me. It’s far better to focus on how awesome I look in my jeans than the number on the tag.

·         Surround myself with positive people. True friends are there to lift me up when I’m feeling low and won't bring me down with criticism, body bashing, or gossip.

·         Accept the changes that my body is going through. I will celebrate my new shape and curves. I will rock what I've got!

·         Remember that sometimes I will have down moments. And in those times, I will remind myself of how awesome I am by looking in the mirror and saying, "I'm good! I can do this! I'm number one!"

·         Accept that beauty isn't just about my looks. It's my awesome personality and my energy that creates a whole, unique package.
