Battle Body Realness

It is no secret that we live in a society obsessed with body image. Over Christmas I was FEELING MYSELF. I had been on a pretty consistent workout regime, paired with a healthy well balanced diet & daily evening stretches. I felt strong & confident, that is until I saw a picture of myself enjoying the holidays & then... I stepped onto a scale. My heart sank... FAST! I went into a spiral as that former husky department segregated child was immediately transported to December 2020. As a NYer who was walking on average about 3 to 5 miles a day pre-pandemic, my body has begun to catch up. Throw in aging and I just wasn't ready for that beeping number staring back at me. What if we could throw every scale away & pay attention to what some say really matters, the way our body truly & authentically feels. Guess what?!? WE CAN! In our interview, Ms. Emilie Battle helped me see that. That the beeping number staring at me from that demonic tool of self inflicting judgement & shame, that MF scale, had no power over me. Throwing off the projected desire to look a certain way & starting to reprogram ourselves to pay attention to how we FEEL, is what Battle Body is all about. Well boom, Ah ha moment, no more scales for me. I mean it takes more obvs, but as Whitney & TGIF once preached, it's "step by step, day by day" that makes change happen. Come on in & learn more. Mmk? Mmk! Gday. TODAY'S TRIVIA: MUSICAL THEATER
