Dancing Naked

Dancing Naked has been about self-discovery and being.  It is time for reality and truth.

I come to this place now because of a very real physical event in my life.  And because of this event, I have had to face some very real fears and challenges.  I had surgery to remove a tumor at the back of my head that caused some nasty side effects.  The ordeal surrounding the surgery and the insurance issues is for another time and to be visited on one of my other blogs. But suffice it to say, I have had to take a good long look at my own self-image and at what I want to create in my life.

Tackling my body image is the main focus of my mental and emotional equation.  Yes, I know I have been outspoken to those women who have been a part of my life that we should love our bodies as they are.  But, I admit here and now that while I was espousing those truths, I had my own issues.

Gaining weight and attempting to fill the void with food became my demon to face.  I am back on the weight loss bandwagon – not because society expects me to be thin and fit, but because it is something that is part of my own internal healing process.  I admit that I do not love my body.  I am sad that I have allowed my mental and emotional state to affect my physical state.

So, starting here and now, I am on a mission to love my body once again for what it is and how it looks.  I welcome this journey, and I invite you to be a part of it with me.  By agreeing to be a part of it with me, you also agree to look at yourself.  Do you truly love yourself?  Do you accept your body as something beautiful to be cared for and loved?  Those are questions well worth asking.  And then we can all be . . . .
