‘Tis the season to take stock in your life and assess what you might like to change. <\/p>\n

And why it’s super easy to pick yourself apart and zero in on the aspects that you feel need fixing, and, sure, you could just pledge to wake up earlier or read more books, why not make 2020 the year you resolve to be kinder to yourself and your body, embracing everything it is and has done for you? <\/p>\n

Repeat after Lizzo<\/a><\/strong>: “Mirror, mirror on the wall \/ Don’t say it, ’cause I know I’m cute.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

So if you want to strive to start your day with green juice, cut back on all those energy-sapping sugars or make it a point to sweat daily, by all means, have at it. But how ’bout we leave the resolutions to lose 10 pounds and the crash dieting cycle that inevitably ensues back in this decade, m’kay? <\/p>\n

Take it from the likes of Ashley Graham<\/a><\/strong>, Zendaya<\/a><\/strong> and Emma Stone<\/a><\/strong>: loving yourself is way more fun than cutting carbs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“When people look at my body and be like, ‘Oh my God, she’s so brave,’ it’s like, ‘No, I’m not.’ I’m just fine. I’m just me. I’m just sexy. If you saw Anne Hathaway<\/strong> in a bikini on a billboard, you wouldn’t call her brave. I just think there’s a double standard when it comes to women….I don’t like it when people think it’s hard for me to see myself as beautiful<\/a>. I don’t like it when people are shocked that I’m doing it.”

No other person can be you 100 percent; no one has your fingerprint; no one has your DNA. You are you 120 percent, through and through.

One day I decided that I was beautiful<\/a>, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not blind: I see my body, I see the difference in shape, I see that I gained weight. But I also see with those same eyes that I have a beautiful baby boy, and an amazing little girl, and I am very happy.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

So I said, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to lose weight, I’ve got to learn how to walk like Kerry Washington<\/strong> in heels, you know, I’ve got to lose my belly.’ And then I asked myself, ‘Well, why do I have to do all that?’ I truly believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are<\/a>, and I just recently embraced that at 51. I think my strongest power is that at ten o’clock every Thursday night, I want you to come into my world. I am not going to come into yours.

For young men, and women, too, what makes you different or weird, that’s your strength<\/a>.

“When did being thin become more important than being healthy? I recently went to a naturopath for the first time in my life. I told her about my anxiety around food and my obsession with dieting. She phrased a pivotal question in such a way that struck a chord with me: what other things could you be thinking about if you didn’t spend all your time thinking about your diet? I suddenly remembered all the activities I love that used to occupy my time. At some point in my life, I allowed my obsession with being thin to consume me, and I refused to make room in my mind for any other concerns\u2026.I’m done believing in the idea<\/a> that there’s a thinner, happier version of me on the other side of all the tireless effort. Your body type is subject to genetics, and while eating nutrient-dense foods and exercising regularly will make you healthier, it will not necessarily make you thinner.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
