Gratitude: I
I is for Ice Cream
Ice cream is my favorite sweet to indulge in, and when I started on my healthy journey, it felt like it would also have to be something I would soon be giving up. Part of growing as a person was realizing that I could buy my ice cream and eat it too. Making healthier choices for myself allowed me to not have to give up my favorite thing, while at the same time it really made me appreciate how special ice cream was as a treat. Learning to plan, and to portion my indulgences was an important step in realizing that being healthy and taking care of myself doesn’t need to be a punishment, and that despite all my thinking, I deserve good things.

Gratitude: H
H is for Hips
My hips are the biggest part of my body, but they’re also my favorite part. I like the way they look in dresses and jeans, and I am really grateful for the things that they do for me. I used to run a great deal, and I had to stop because of a hip injury. As summer approaches, and I get ready to start running again, I’m grateful to have healthy and happy hips that allow me to move, jump, play and run. My hips make me feel feminine and sexy—they’re a part of me that I have struggled to love, but am forever happy to have.
Flowers From The Netherlands
What a better way to start the day then with a postcard of some beautiful flowers sent in from The Netherlands?
