?????????????
I think some of us would say No. But let’s see what the majority have to say about their bodies.
I have just seen the movie Embrace on my laptop while I ate my lunch at the office. It’s about a former sexy woman, a reporter by profession who became bigger after giving birth to her kids.
Anyway, it also made me ask myself for the first time the question “Do I love my body?”
I think sometimes, I don’t love my body especially when I see the fat in my tummy fold whenever I sit or sometimes it also protrudes on the love handle, as it is called.
But looking back when I was in high school until mid-college, I was so skinny, that I hated my body. No matter how much I eat, I am still skinny.
Until I tried steroids, that made me gain weight. However, it gave me moon face. Thus, my father was worried. So, we went to see a doctor and there the doctor made me confess and didn’t wonder that I took steroids to gain weight.
To cut the story short, the doctor lets me withdraw from the steroids gradually and my moon face was gone. Though I was able to retain my added weight and it still added some after I have given birth to our child.
Over the years, my love for eating has taken its toll, because I already have those unwanted fats on my tummy area. And whenever I see that I have that already I would exercise and diet and remove some but not at all.
As I ponder about it today, I just console myself that at my age, I still have an overall look of a medium built body and for that, I am happy and thankful.
I promised myself that I will be determined to maintain this weight.
So today at the office, after lunch time, I went down to the supermarket, to buy the offertory for the priest who will be celebrating the Sunday mass at the chapel of the mall .I am the officer on duty that’s why, on this particular Sunday, so I am at the office.
What a coincidence, that by the lobby, I saw a two ladies from a company’s wellness program and had myself weighed and my height taken.
I was so happy because my height and weight or my body mass index still on the normal level.
I love my body and I am determined to keep it that way because after all it is the temple of the Holy Spirit and I am just a keeper of this borrowed body from God,

I have gained some weight. And I want to reduce it. Otherwise I think I am doing okay so far.
Just be determined in losing them through exercise and some diet and you will also get your former body.
Sometimes, we should just be so determined and forget about being lazy in doing the exercise.
i love my body so much that i will not want to do anything to change it to please any one. Naturaly every one came with their body size. i dont know why people will want to change their body size to please others. Untill you appreciate yourself, no one will appreciate you.
I agree. We have to appreciate what we have and improve them if there is some parts that we don't like.
I am happy that you love your body. We should indeed love our bodies because they are what God gave us.
Although, if you have the money, if you like a fast way of eliminating fats in your body, you can go for those smart lip, which celebrities do to have a nice body.
I would love to have that too, if I have the money. he he he
I also love my body because it's what I am. Although I am trying to lose more weight to satisfy my desired body shape.
Loving our own body will enforce us to go with healthy diets and do some workout. It makes us realize how good it is to take care of our body from diseases.
Every now and then, I find time to do exercise because it is one way of loving myself. To be fit.
That is good to know that you love your body.
Indeed, our bodies may not be perfect though. We just have to learn how to wear clothes that suits our own body type.
And yes, if we love our bodies, we should see to it that it gets the exercise that it needs. Exercise is an anti-aging factor and it helps in strengthening our bodies thus we have a strong immune system.
When we love our bodies, we also love ourselves. :)
I am loving my body. But I need to do some exercises since I am gaining weight lately. However, there is no enough time. Since I am living in a cold climate, I just need to keep monitoring what to eat. In summer season, I am going to push myself in doing some activities on a daily basis.
Are you not here in the Philippines? Indeed, the cold weather can make us gain weight because it whets our appetite thus makes us eat more. ha ha ha
Just like you, I am trying to lose some fats and for me, those are in the tummy area.
I just cut down my rice portion and eat apple instead for dinner.
It is nice to hear that you love your body. We should really because it's the temple of the holy spirit. So we really have to take care of it, so we can live on it longer.
yes. One should love one's body as long as we live. There may be some changes that may take place but we should not develop hatred for them as they are all temporary changes. They come and go. They develop and again disappear. But, as true lover of our body how can we allow it in bad shape. This is the point of concern. If we really love our body we should take proper care of it. We should allow only as minimum changes as possible but not the total change in the structure itself.
I love my body that is why I eat what it requires that too in limited quantity. I do exercise properly and keep my stomach always half full. I never give trouble to my digestive system dumping always something or the other. This is what we should generally do. Take care of your skin Apply oil to it and give it a good expose to the sun and the moon. Take your body out and give it a good air.
Take care of your muscles. Give them proper exercise Keep them strong and free from water. Feed them with the adequate amount of fat.
Take care of your bones. Give them sufficient supply of Vitamin D, Calcium and other minerals. Never overburden your digestive system This is always a golden principle.
Very well said and I absolutely agree with you.
If we truly love our bodies, at any change of the body that is detrimental to our health, we should already do things to make them normal again.
We should take care of our body because doing so would mean we will be having a healthy lifestyle thus live longer.
You amaze me because you really are doing all these things to assure you that you have a healthy body. :)
That is very good you are in the range of healthy!!
I was so happy too, to know that I am still within the normal BMI. I thought I am way above the normal.
I am trying to lose my tummy fat and I do that by just eating an apple for dinner. Although, when I eat the apple I see to it that I am still a bit full from my snacks in the afternoon.
So far, my pants have loosened a bit in the waist.
I love my body, i am acutally lucky that i have a fast metabolism because i eat like crazy and some people even think i should be fat. I am actually skinny but with some meat.
I never hated my body, i just adapted to how i looked and love my body no matter what. I don't do anything to change my form either. I am too lazy for that.
Sometimes i gain more weight and lose weight depending on the seasons but it varies between 5-7 kilos either way, so it doesn't make a big diference on my appearance.
I can't say I hate my body or that I love it. I have a little bit of weight I want to lose before summertime so I can feel confident in a bikini. I try to maintain a steady weight. But it's important to appreciate your body and feel content with yourself physically.
