My Journey on Loving Myself

This is not the first day of my journey to loving myself, but I want to become accountable and inspire others to go on this journey too.  So many people think this is all about eating well and exercise. It is so much more than that.
The thing is, whenever I go to love myself well, even just eating well and exercise, I get a panic that rises up and a defiance that causes and anger in me.  I feel like grabbing the first load of junk food I can and having a binge.

This is my journey.  I am being extremely vulnerable for you all that read it, so that I can walk through the process and track it as well as inspire you all who read it.
The first step is to take a deep breath, to look at myself in the mirror daily and tell myself the truth.  My daily declarations are simple:

                                      " I am beautiful."
                         " I am powerful."
                         " I am loved."
                          "I am wise."

I have been intentional about telling myself these truths everyday, it may seem that it doesn't go in, that it doesn't make a difference but the more you tell yourself the truth, the more you start to believe it, and the more you set free.

Please join me as I step out into this journey on intentionally loving myself well.
