What about this question: "How do you feel about yourself?"  We often hear the saying "Beauty is in the eyes of beholders". Some are born beautiful.  Others do not have that beauty.  That is why we have these adjectives "pretty", "sexy", and so on.   Cosmetic surgeries are now too common and can make anyone look "beautiful".  Just think about it a little bit.  No one wants to be liked just because of a few body parts.  But, as we age our beauty will change.  If that's all you have then in a few years where will you be?   The most important things are attitude, self-confidence, and intelligence.  What it all comes down to is the old cliche.  If you think you look good, then other people will too. God has given each person only one own body.  What is important is being healthy and keeping fit.  My advice is find the time at least three times a week to exercise.  Spend two hours per week to read a new book at the library or the bookstore. Take the stairs at work instead of using the elevator that helps a lot. Cut back on carbohydrates.  Don't eat too much sugar or fattening foods. Try to do everything in moderation.  Again, I said MODERATION in everything you choose to do ( eat, drink, say, or think).  Keeping fit takes a lot of discipline at first but if you make it your normal routine then you will have more energy and feel much better about yourself.  Once you are into it, it is like a part of your life.  It is important NOT to compare yourself with the models you see on TV.  We are all shaped differently and some of us are naturally big boned. No matter what size frame you have we all can keep healthy and strong by eating right and a little exercise.

Another important ingredient to being a whole person is spiritual fitness as well.  Find a belief or a faith that would nurture your spirituality, help you to handle stress and grow your strength throughout a lot of difficult times.  Please don't misunderstand as spirituality does not necessarily involve a religion. However, it would benefit you and your loved ones if you have a religion, a principles or a belief that you have faith in. It is good to keep yourself and your life, including work and family/personal, balanced.  If you are missing a religion or faith then your balance is a bit off and some may start to ask themselves questions like "what's the purpose of my life?" People without religion have a higher chance of having mental breakdowns.  After all, it is a healthy lifestyle. 

So those are my two cents on being fit and beautiful.  You may agree or not agree.  But I always love to listen to ideas and inputs and hope to learn more from y'all. Thank you and have a lovely day.   Lyna Le.
