115. "RE: Christie's Tunder Thighs!"
I was so happy to see the work that Christie did today on the show. I could really identify, because it's always so difficult to really know what I look like right now, after years of yo-yo dieting you tend to become confused with body image!
Actually, I think I look thinnner than I am, and always think it's funny how shocked I am when I see how fat I've become. Well, Christie having a chalk outline of her body I thought was a great idea because she could hold it up and actually see how big or small she was (mirror reflections are SO deceiving, and so is the scale!).
And then when she and Lisa went to the pole dancing class and just stretched and got in touch with their bodies and spoke with the instructor about how ALL scars are badges of honor (I think this means stretch marks and skin that just doesn't snap back after weight loss, too) it was really encouraging...to love and accept your body just as you are, today, before the next diet to come or the next glance in the mirror.
I really do love some of the exercises they have the women in the house do. I could see on Christie's face how she felt 'good in her own skin' probably for the first time in years, if ever. I'm just assuming she was happy, but it sure looked like she was to me. It's the first step to accepting others...to accept oneself. Yes!
