With the New Year rolling in and all those resolutions popping up in your social media feeds, it’s easy to find yourself fixating on your body more than usual. But one woman’s heartfelt Facebook message is gaining traction for its refreshing perspective amidst the noise of New Year’s fitness goals.

The essence of her message? Embrace your body just as it is.

Maya Thompson, a certified strength coach and co-founder of Fit for Life, shared a candid photo of herself in a bikini on her Facebook page. While she certainly has a fit physique, what sets her apart is the empowering message she conveys: “This is my body. This isn’t a before or after photo; it’s simply what I look like on an ordinary Tuesday in December 2023 — it’s a snapshot of my life!”

Maya goes on to discuss the journey her body has endured: battling health issues, competing in fitness events, late-night fast food runs, and dealing with stress — experiences that often go unnoticed when we judge others solely by their appearance. She writes, “My body has faced comments like: too fat, too thin, too strong, too weak — all within a single week.”

It’s all too easy to assume that someone with a toned body doesn’t struggle with the same insecurities many of us face. But her post serves as a powerful reminder that loving your reflection is what truly matters. Ask anyone who has grappled with body image issues; the mirror often shows a distorted version of reality.

Maya reflects, “Some people say they’d do anything to have this body. Others say they’d be miserable if they did. I’ve wasted too much time and energy wishing my body looked differently.” Sound familiar?

What if, today, you decided to simply be yourself and appreciate who you are? Imagine giving yourself permission to exist without self-judgment. Nothing else in your life would change, except the constant mental struggle would fade away. How freeing would that be?

In closing, Maya shares, “Today, I love and cherish this body, and that’s the only opinion that counts — mine. This is the first year I’ve made NO resolutions to alter my appearance. This newfound freedom is something I never thought I’d experience, and it feels amazing.”

Perhaps our resolution should be to practice kindness toward ourselves, which is often more challenging than any diet or workout plan.
