If you wouldn't say it to your best friend, why would you say it to yourself?

 Just thought I would share...

Went to a support group meeting last night an the topic was body image, self image.  There were two things that really hit home that I think is worth sharing.  First, if you wouldn't say it to your best friend why would you say it to yourself.  Break the negative pattern you got going on there.  Second, get out of the habit of picking apart your body.  For example, I have been very fortunate that my arms are doing supurbly, but the loose skin on my neck bothers the heck out of me.  Stop doing that to yourself- love ALL of yourself, not just parts.  Anyway, here is to treating youself better!
