With the sunny weather, sunscreen has been on my mind this morning. Who remembers the ‘Wear sunscreen’ song from the late 90’s? It was originally an essay written by a journalist Mary Schmich but then released as a song in 1998 by Baz Luhrmann.

Yes so cheesy but it has some great messages in here about body image.

If not, I have paraphrased the body love stuff worth remembering: -

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
YOU ARE NOT AS FAT AS YOU IMAGINE.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
 
 Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
 
 
 
Be inspired. What are you going to take from this today? Be brave, be bold. Post below and share your thoughts.
 
If you would like to get in touch about working with me to explore some of these issues further, I would love to hear from you. I am passionate about helping you to eat all the foods you love; and feel great about your body without disordered eating or dieting.
 
Best wishes
