If you would've told me 10 years ago that I would be over 100 pounds heavier and ten thousand times more confident, I would say you are lying. The journey to loving my body has been a rocky one filled with diet fads, strenuous workouts, and self-hatred. It took many years to unlearn these practices with the help of therapists, workshops, journaling, and prayer.

While I'm grateful that past Mykalee did what they had to get to this space, I have to maintain the momentum. If you struggle or have struggled with body issues, you know that you have to do a little maintenance every now and then to keep the negative self-talk from taking the mic like Kanye at the 2009 MTV Music Awards.

One way I like to keep the body negativity at bay is through books! I used to be an avid reader as a child but as technology advanced, my books transformed into blog posts, social media, and youtube videos. In 2019, I made the intention to start reading again. And with my professional mission being to help all bodies through food and wellness, I have five great reads all about the body.

These are a few books that have helped me along my journey to loving my body. And I still have a few books that are on my list to continue this work and healing.

If you are interested but might not have the time to read a book, try audible. It's a platform where you can listen to many titles on your phone, tablet, and other electronic devices. Audiobooks have been a part of my reading regimen for two years now. I love listening to an audiobook while walking, cleaning, and more. Interested? Try audible premium plus and get 2 audiobooks for free!

In the comments, please let me know if have read these books and your thoughts. Also if you have any book recommendations, please share those too!
