When All You See In the Mirror Are Saggy Boobs, Rolls of Fat, and Cellulite


 

Here are ten interventions for when your imperfections stare you in the face:

  1. 1. Know that you’re normal.  According to Geneen Roth, even thin people “have cellulite, get old, and die.” You’re not alone.

  2. 2.Know that this too shall pass.  The great thing about feelings?  They’re temporary.  

  3. 3.Do something fun.  What makes you laugh?  What makes you smile?  What makes you feel amazing?  What brings you pleasure?  Make a list of things that make you happy, and then do one thing on that list.

  4. 4. Put on red lipstick.  Or red nail polish.  Or both.

  5. 5. Take three really deep belly breaths. Enjoy feeling the air moving in and out of your body.

  6. 6. Call your best friend.  A good rant never hurt anybody.

  7. 7.Walk.  I always feel better after a walk.

  8. 8. Wear something soft.  Or touch something soft, like a pet.

  9. 9. Listen to your favorite tunes.  Sing along.  Loudly!

  10. 10. Enjoy chocolate.  It never disappoints.
