Now that I've made my self-appreciation jar, I need to keep track of the words that I'm saying that got that money into the jar. What are some things I say about myself? Why do I say it? What are my emotions when I say it? For the most part the things I say are in a joking form to someone else. Like: "Look Fat girls don't do bathing suits." Or...."You weigh as much as my thigh." I do it to lighten the mood and to make sure my friends know that I'm not easily offended about things like that. Rosie, the author of the book wants us to really look at why we are saying the things we're saying. Is it because we want a healthier life without huffing and puffing up the stairs....or are we trying to fit into some Hollywood Standard?
The answer is easy for me. I don't give a SHIT about Hollywood standards....hell, I don't give a shit about most people's standards....what I care about is being healthy for my daughter, being a role model for my students and being able to do things naturally without so much effort. I am in this for the long haul. Now I need to remember my words. (sounds so simple huh?)
