In a poignantly funny scene from one of my favorite movies, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Renee Zelwegger, who plays Bridget struggles with negative feelings about her body and tries to cover herself up after making love with her boyfriend, Mark Darcy.
Mark Darcy: What on Earth are you doing?
Bridget Jones: Getting dressed.
Mark Darcy: Why’re you dancing around in that tent business?
Bridget Jones: Because I don’t want you to see any of my wobbly bits.
In the movie, Bridget gets into and out of relationships and struggles with each of them because she doesn’t have a sense of her own self worth. The reason for her struggles is not her wobbly bits, as she thinks, but her sagging self esteem.
Have you made peace with your wobbly bits?
When you pass a mirror naked do you want to run and hide?
Are you busy playing the game of I’ll never be perfect?
Are you, like Bridget, rushing to cover your wobbly bits? It doesn’t matter how much or how little you weigh, if you don’t learn to accept your body now, you never will.
