Learning to Love Your Body at Every Stage of the Fitness Journey

Daily. I find taking objective measurements or progress photos helps when the mirror is lying. The numbers don't lie, but the brain definitely does.

I actually stopped taking photos for a while. I was getting too obsessive. I'm trying to just live in my skin for a bit without documenting it. It's been surprisingly liberating.

That takes a lot of guts, MapleLeafFan. I’m not there yet, but I admire it.

The end goal isn't a certain weight, it's peace of mind. We're all works in progress, physically and mentally.

Agreed. This journey is as much about the 6 inches between our ears as it is about the muscles on our bones.

Well said, Mike. Glad we're all in this together. It's a lot easier to love yourself when you know you aren't the only one struggling with it.

Exactly. Community makes all the difference. Cheers everyone.
