Why? Because these uninformed masses claim that CRON is an eating disorder, and an aspect of EDs is the hatred of one's body.<br /><br />I love every inch of me, and because I do, I want to honour this Temple by eating vitamin-and-nutrient-packed foods in quantities that don't overload me or put stress on my system. And CRON is the scientifically proven way for me to keep this gorgeous body of mine for as long as possible.<br /><br />So, in this day and age when talking about your own lovely bits could be considered gauche, conceited or offensively braggart, I throw caution and modesty to the wind and tell you the 8 things I love about my body. I will then tag 8 of my CRON bloggers to do the same.<br /><br />And if you don't practice CRON, that's cool too. Please share your list of 8 Things. It can be anything about your body... from head to toe. Don't be modest! Everyone should have a healthy self-esteem. It may feel weird at first, but you'll be happy you did it. After I did my list, I loved myself even more! :)<br /><br />So, do it! Be proud of who you are, take very good care of yourself, and love your body.<br /><br />Okay, I love my...<br /><br />1. short-waisted torso - it makes my legs look longer<br />2. breasts that after nursing babies for 5 years straight still have some buoyancy<br />3. skintone - aka the island-girl perma-tan... a friend once described me as "the girl with cafe au lait skin"<br />4. broad shoulders - kinda makes my head look small, but they look phenomenal when bare<br />5. thick black wavy hair, that at times has a mind of its own!<br />6. posture and how I carry my body, sometimes accident-prone but for the most part quite graceful<br />7. long piano-playing fingers which, although not used for piano-playing anymore, are great at typing out my thoughts at great speed<br />8. my lips - not too thin, not too Angelina Jolie, just right<br /><br />Okay, your turn!<br /><br />This post inspired by <a href="http://www.mprize.org/blogs/archives/2007/10/ive_changed_my.html" target="_blank">April's CR Blog post "I've Changed My Mind: I'm Ready For You This Time"</a>.<br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><br/><b><i>Written by Nenette AM, exclusively for <a href="http://www.lifecandy.net">lifecandy.net</a></i></b><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5554671041186726858-1621465668522112016?l=www.lifecandy.net'/></div>Nenette AMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04519714210354478057noreply@blogger.com10
