Do you see your body as your friend? I'm Sheila Ray

Gregwar from the To Love Honor and Vacuum

com blog and this week on our to love honor and vacuum

podcast I want to talk about how you can feel comfortable in your body.

Because let's face it, a lot of us really don't like our bodies.

I was talking this week on the blog about how we can see our

bodies as our friend and not as our enemy because I think a lot of times we

women look in the mirror and feel so deflated.

You know we hate bathing suit shopping.

I went bathing suit shopping lately because actually as you're listening to this I am on vacation

with my husband and my mom which is awesome and I'm so excited about going so I'm

recording this ahead of time but I don't even like bathing suit shopping

because you got to try on these things and you always have to try on so many that just don't look good on you

But the funny thing is they might actually look good on you, but you can't see it because we have this image of what we're supposed to look like.

And because we don't measure up, we just feel deflated.

We don't want to go close shopping.

We don't even like thinking about our bodies below our necks.

You kind of try to cut off any feeling that comes from any part of your body because it might

remind you of how much you're a failure. You're angry at all the jiggling. You see the muffin tops along the

ridge of your jeans and you kind of wish you could just get rid of all the mirrors in the

house.

And that makes it hard to have sex too, doesn't it?
