I happened to catch an episode of the Tyra Banks show when I was off of work Monday, Sept 3 for Labor day. Tyra had a guest named Jessica Weiner who is a motivation speaker. She was amazing. I did some research and she has several sights. Please check it out. You owe it to yourself. She stressed the importance of loving yourself and your body "as it is at this moment". She helps with self esteem and self acceptance. She worked on the show with three woman who had terrible self images and were very discouraged about their current weight.
It really moved me. It will be airing again on channel 61 (Oxygen channel) on 9/10/07 at 11:00 p.m. and again on 9/11/07 at 8:00 a.m.
I am going to record it this time.
You know, as discouraged as we are with our "current weight" we do need to remember to love ourselves no matter what our body looks like at this particular moment. We are beautiful!! We cannot let ourselves get down, we have to pick ourselves back up and keep going and fighting for what we want to change.
Today is a new day of self acceptance for me. I can tell you that I struggle daily with feelings guilty for being overweight and for my decisions, sad, ugly, uncomfortable, my self esteem really has taken a beating. Today I promise myself to wake up each day and tell myself that I am beautiful and that I can do anything I put my mind to. Who's with me???!!!!
Please check out her websites. She really was an amazing speaker and had some excellent ideas and suggestions. She herself is an overweight person, but you know what she has awesome self esteem and self confidence. If she can do it, we can do it!!!
