If you’re like me, you probably have things you want to change about your body. No matter how many times you hear “love your body,” you just need a little help doing that. Below are 5 positive affirmations to help you learn to love and appreciate your body more.

 

  1. My body deserves love and respect.

  2. I love my body as it is today.

  3. Food is not the enemy. I appreciate it for nourishing me.

  4. My worth is not defined by my weight. I define my worth, and I am worthy.

  5. I am beautiful.

When you first start saying these things, you will most likely not feel it. However, as time goes on, you will start to believe what you tell yourself everyday. I know that saying these will feel silly in the beginning, but they truly are the first step toward loving and appreciating your body.
