Positive Gain

Tomorrow, January 2,2013 is the annual Special K® 'Gain Day.' A day dedicated to empower women everywhere to weigh themselves and to not focus on what they want to lose, but what they want to gain.

I love the concept of this campaign because it is giving light to what is more important. We live in a very appearance forward culture. You are too big, small, short, tall, dark and it goes on and on. There are too many images and people telling us what we should look like instead of praising us for what we were given. 

As a young woman in this world I have had my struggles with appearance issues. It is hard, but I am growing everyday towards loving and accepting myself for who I Am. To be at war with yourself is a battle that is not worth fighting for. And I feel it is my duty to help other women realize their self-worth as well.

We should not have a phobia of getting on the scale because we are scared of the number that will flash back at us. I commend Special K® and others like Tyra Banks for taking a stand against this issue and working hard to help empower women. Being healthy and looking good should  not be all about the numbers. We should be more focused on what we can gain like happiness, confidence, energy, joy and drive.
