Gratitude for Cellulite


 

As we learn to love our bodies, we learn to embrace and accept and be grateful for every aspect of our physical presence.  And cellulite is certainly one aspect of our bodies that many women find difficult to appreciate.  I’d like to share a slightly different perspective.

Here are ten reasons to be celebrate cellulite.

  1. 1.Cellulite is truth.  It exists, whether you like it or not.

  2. 2.Cellulite gives us information.  It gives us great feedback about what we’ve been eating, and how much we’ve been moving.  

  3. 3.Cellulite is objective.  It doesn’t judge us.  It doesn’t complain.  It simply is what it is.  Nothing more, nothing less.

  4. 4.Cellulite is an efficient manifestation of body fat.  Body fat is stored energy.  And that’s a good thing, because it means that, if need be, we could survive a famine.  

  5. 5.Cellulite is a great teacher.  It gives us the amazing opportunity to learn to embrace all of ourselves.  If we can accept even parts of our bodies that are not traditionally considered beautiful, then we can move in the direction of complete and total self-acceptance.   And the more we can love and respect our bodies, the more we can allow that love and respect to inform our choices about food and activity.

  6. 6.Cellulite is a reminder of our mortality.  According to the website www.bodyandfitness.com, a correlation exists between between aging and cellulite.  And as we are reminded that we, in fact, will not live forever, we can take pleasure and appreciate and be grateful for the life we have right now.  

  7. 7.Cellulite cushions and protects our bodies.  Who doesn’t appreciate the comfort of a cushion?

  8. 8.Cellulite gives us shape and enhances our luscious,  feminine curves.   

  9. 9.Cellulite (and body fat) helps regulate our body’s temperature.

  10. 10. Cellulite gives us permission to not be perfect.
