What would you pay for the PERFECT body?
Posted on 20 January 2010
This evening I went for my weekly near death experience of working out with my trainer to help me get rid of my muffin top.
While I struggled to sit up for the 37th time, he posed an interesting question.
“What would you pay to wake up tomorrow and have the perfect body?”
Immediately I wondered if the bank would give me a line of credit for such a thing. Perhaps I could say it was a business venture. Or I could sell all my shoes…how much would my shoe collection bring on Ebay? Hmmm….
Right away I realized I would have to sell some organs on the black market to make this dream a reality.
A hundred thousand? Two hundred-fifty thousand? What would it be worth? Would you pay more than what your car was worth brand new?
After thinking about it, I don’t think I would pay much at all.
I would wake up being the same exact woman I was on the inside with an outside that was my idea of perfect. Nothing would change what I dislike about who I am, my confidence, or my fear of chasing my dreams. I would merely be a very hot woman that has all the same issues, problems, insecurities, and psychoses.
“What would you pay to wake up tomorrow and be confident in who you are?”
That’s the real question.
The wonderful thing is that you don’t have to pay a dime. You could wake up tomorrow and choose to be satisfied in yourself and know that everything about you is worth enjoying.
Today I am choosing to like everything about myself; even the muffin top.
Being fully you and proud of yourself is gorgeous.
Paying to wake up beautiful is what Hollywood does…and let’s be honest, they really don’t have it together over there.

If you don’t pay for something a proper price you don’t value it. So it would have to be very very expensive or you’d just end up in the same place you’re in now 10 years down the road. I think the hard work is just as important for your charecter as the weight loss is for your health and vanity. Of course I’m not one to talk I had McNuggets for dinner.
Did I ever tell you how much I admire you? You are a remarkable woman!!! And you are right, let’s love ourselves exactly how we are.
Thank you. You are equally remarkable – no question! =)
Excellent stuff Donloree! Something that we all know,yet so frequently need to remind ourselves of. I love the fact too, that while people can and do pay for the perfect body, you can not purchase confidence. Gaining confidence in who you were created to be, just the way you are, comes from hanging out with the Guy who made you like that =) Such an easy solution and yet for many, too big a price.
I agree 100%.
