A Woman’s Life Journey of Body
Acceptance Part Three:Moving into Body
Acceptance for Women
 For women,
body image issues can continue to dominate our acceptance of self through out
the college and adult years, ranging from focus on parts of our body we do not
like to ways that we feel in our body movement.
A woman’s journey of body acceptance takes many twists and turns as we
go into childbearing years, our mid life and as we age into our sliver years. I have found, like the writer of the Real
Simple article, that my journey as been similar in accepting this bigger built,
less coordinated body of mine! |

As I was driving to work the other day, listening to one of Dan Allendar’s recorded sessions from his Wounded Heart series, he made a statement that really caught my attention:
When you take away hope, you take away your identity. Once you stop desiring, you stop dreaming. Once you stop desiring and dreaming, you stop becoming. When you stop becoming, you live a flat, dull life of the status quo. You settle for becoming a survivor. You get up everyday and do the same old things over and over and over never truly loving any of it or living out of your identity. |
