And wow, this post really made me think. There are others who would give up everything to have stronger muscles and better joint movement. If only it were easier to train our brains to appreciate what we're so blessed to have. I hope YOU'RE doing well, darling xo bec Thank you for the beautiful comment, as always.

Watching other people who couldn't control their health made me 100% committed to appreciating and honoring the healthy body I have had so far. Damaging it is out of the question. I eat well, in moderation, exercise but also allow myself lots of rest time. Lovely post.

I TRY to eat healthy...some days are better than others, but my constant effort to always do better will *hopefully* get me to where I want to be one day! I've cut my emotional eating about in half, so I guess that's a good start :) http://www.firednfabulous.blogspot.com/ I treat myself well with lots of water and exercise.

Thank you! =] For people that have recovered from their eating disorders, or were healthy to begin with, it helps remind them how lucky they are, and to not take anything for granted...especialyl their health. For those of us that are still struggling, this gives added motivation to get healthy, so our bodies can flourish the way they were intended to. Thank you for this bit of inspiration, Leslie. And I'm sorry about your grandmother's poor hip! You're both in my prayers... ♥Alexandra This is a really beautiful post. Thank you! =]

It's so easy to miss the point of staying active and maintaining a nourishing diet. For the most ridiculous reasons, it's easier to obsess about superflous things like flat stomachs and dress size. I'm totally guilty of paying needless attention to the vain aspects of nutrition/fitness, but at the end of the day, I know all the efforts I make towards living a healthy lifestyle have more to do with keeping my body vital and thriving.

It's amazing when I talk with my older family members (who have health conditions). The way that they talk about nutrition for its true value rather than appearance is truly what health and happiness is all about. <3 Sara You took the words out of my mouth!

This is something I think about a lot these days- as I've gotten older, my priorities have changed. I think about my bones and how I can make them stronger. I think about my organs and how what I do affects them- I look back and feel sad about the teenage 'me' that wasn't able to think beyond that moment she was in. Right now, I am focusing on nutrition.

I agree with every word. Bodies have become so much more in people's eyes than their real purpose- and in a negative way- a source of judgement and criticism, self-punishment..We need to give our bodies the value they deserve, "if we don't have our health we don't have anything." I'm really working hard to get back to loving my self and treating my body right. At the moment, I'm making sure I get enough sleep as my body needs it, not pushing my body to work without rest. xx love love love this post. I agree with every word.
