Embracing Willendorf
Embracing Willendorf: A Witch's Way of Loving Your Body to Health and Fitness | H. Byron Ballard
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
This is a saga both serious and ridiculous of how the author came to love her body and listen to it, even when it whispered nonsensical things. Embracing Willendorf: A Witch's Way of Loving Your Body to Health and Fitness is a kind of memoir, a story of walking and pondering, of thongs and tight Levis. And it is about transformation. About choosing to be healthier and achieving that through a wonderfully simple idea--that when we love our bodies, we will do what we need to do to nourish these exquisite and beautiful machines. Try out the tasty and healthy recipes in the back, then pick up a few rather naughty books from the suggested reading list. Because once you start loving your body, all sorts of interesting opportunities may present themselves. This book is your personal recipe with the ingredients for living a rich and vibrant life--and perhaps discovering your true self in the process. Embrace your life and your strong physical self. Embrace your Willendorf.

this was taken just before my due date last December 🤦‍♀️ People regularly said how big I was 😅 such a great feeling 🙃

Early on in this book, Ballard asks you to choose a feature you love & affirm it. Then she asks you to choose what you hate & love it harder. I chose my stomach. You know what I love about it now? Everything.

this body is m i n e & I love it

StaceGhost @Ericalambbrown 🙏🏻thank you! I‘m feeling much more fierce these days haha healing & coming back stronger indeed 💪 3y
Ericalambbrown @StaceGhost I‘m so glad you are feeling stronger! It‘s a process and we need to learn to be kind to ourselves. I‘m almost 50 and tackling body image is still a thing for me. 3y
StaceGhost @Ericalambbrown absolutely! I don‘t know if the process ever stops— sounds like it doesn‘t. The meditations in this book were excellent though and I really enjoyed them, and her exhortations to hire a masseuse lol 3y
