For the longest time I have debated on this. If I wanted to blog about my health, lifestyle and body image. Opening yourself always brings critique. There will be positives, there will be negatives.
Fran Drescher said, "My whole life has been about converting negatives to positives."
This is also a journey of self acceptance. Pregnancy did to me what it does to others to varying extents- change my perception of beauty- external and internal.
Now my goal is pretty clear. To do what I can to stay healthy and active. If I become more active, more energetic, great! If I manage to look better in my clothes, hell yeah! But my main priority is to stay true to what I have come to believe-my body is a temple. It is a gift. And it is my duty to keep it working well and efficiently.

Definitely agree with you on last statement,"body is temple".
