Hey Gina,

I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago and I so appreciate all of the tips and recipes for adhering to a healthy (and happy!) lifestyle.

I’m a day late for National Love Your Body Day, but this particular post totally hit home — its so easy to be way too hard on yourself and I’ve been beating myself up lately for not doing “enough” to get to that ever elusive state of perfection. Hit me pretty hard after reading this that I am TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT!

Thank you.

I love my biceps and shoulders. I was afraid to lift for the longest time for fear of getting bulky, but nothing makes me happier than seeing a pic and thinking that I look great in a tanktop! Going to hit up the gym tonight to keep that goin’

Hi there,

I have stumbled across your blog and this post. It’s so funny because I just started my blog the other day and my first post fits perfectly with this…I called it “Letting go of the crazy talk”. It’s amazing how much time & energy being negative takes up!!

Can’t wait to try one of your breakfast cookies…I’ll let you know when I do (I’ll most likely blog about it too!)

Hey Gina,

I would love to love my body with some Kale chips. Any closer to a recipe you can share with us?

p.s. I’m asking for a dehydrator for Christmas. Thanks for sharing your stories and educating me!

I know this probably isn’t the ‘correct’ place for this comment but I couldn’t find the right place =(

Wonderful, wonderful post Gina. I cannot tell you how much this spoke to me- I can tell this really came from the heart.

I love my curves! I have a small waist and some womanly hips/butt.

And today, I just finished a eating a veggie stirfry and plan on spending some quality time on the yoga mat. I will stay in child’s pose for as long as I damn please!

Gina, if only you knew how much this post means to me… or maybe you do. You said it so well, it really is obvious that you DO love your body and are so comfortable in it. It’s a beautiful thing and I hope other girls (and guys) who read this and might not love their body are inspired by your honest testimony that you were so thoughtful to share with us!

ps- I’m so glad you decided to forgo the rhinoplasty, b/c you just wouldn’t be you without it!

Thank you for such a great post reminding me that I need to appreciate my body!! Here at school, I often fall into the trap of over-exercising and poor body image.

I love my strong legs!! I also love how flexible my body is!

What a fantastic post. I have often thought about this and it’s great to hear someone else discuss it in detail. I am so fed up with the hollywood obsession with size 0, I’m a size 2 and if I was in hollywood, I’d be considered curvy, that’s hilarious and absurd to me.

Anyway, the body part I love is my butt, no matter how my weight might fluctuate it’s always pretty consistently perky LOL.
