taking care of yourself

Good morning Ma Petities,

Today I want to talk to you about taking care of yourself. I know that we have talked about taking time to take care of your mental and emotional health but I want to talk to you about take care of your health as well. I want to encourage you to not ignore your body. If you don't feel well, something hurts, or you can't explain something you have going on with your body; go to the doctor.  Don't put it off, suffer through it, or ignore it. Trust your mama, ignoring your body will only lead to more pain in the long run.

Now I know some of you may be worried about going to the doctor for fear of judgement about weight or lifestyle. I encourage you to find a Doc you like and that understands that you are an indivdual. If the doc you are seeing mentions your weight, inform them that you are not their to be seen about you weight. Ask them to take of what you are there for. If they continue to harp on it remember that they are there to take care of you and that you can chose a different doctor. Do not allow yourself to be held hostage that doesn't respect you.

Now I am not saying that dieting is wrong but if you chose to diet please do it for you. Please do not do it because people, even medical professionals, are pressuring you. I suggest that you get to know your body. Learn what works for you. Not everyone is meant to be a size 2 or even a size 10. Monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar, exercise and eat healthy. Your body will find its healthy weight and wither that is 110 or 210 please know that you are beautiful, sensual, and sexy beyond belief.
