I have gained some weight. And I want to reduce it. Otherwise I think I am doing okay so far.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
