The Truth About My Body Pt II

Someone emailed me one time saying they think I have an “image problem”.

It was from someone who has been following me for a while I believe.

I have never heard of ‘image problems’ before.

But I think that I have every right and way to change my appearance - if I wanted to, right?

I don’t really care what others think about my body.

I have built confidence over the years with my body.

I modelled when I had braces. I modelled when I was “fat”, and I still modelled when I was “skinny”.

I have always been aware of what self-talk I tell myself - for positive or negative.

Last year I had nine fillings (yes, nine!) done for my teeth.

I should have taken that as a wakeup call and stopped eating sweet and processed foods.

But no, I have left it to this year and I recently got diagnosed with pre-diabetics.

It was a major wake up call for me.

I am seeing a dietician every week, as well as a counsellor to help me reverse this pre-diabetics - which I believe is very do-able.

Nothing is impossible.

And I am losing weight for health, not just to look good.

I have lost 1.5 kilos by changing my lifestyle, on top of exercise and eating healthy.

I feel sooo empowered and able to lose 1.5kgs recently (in two weeks!).

Also with the help of Saxande - an appetite suppressant.

I see it as an addition, and not fully relying on it.
