976 | Better This Week: Your Arms

0:01I want to know how many of you have ever not done something you wanted to do because of your arms.

0:13I'm serious.

0:15How many sleeveless dresses are sitting in your closet unworn?

0:20Maybe some of them still have their tags, right?

0:23How many times have you worn a shirt or a cardigan or something when it was way too hot to be wearing that because you didn't like the way that your arms looked in a tank top?

0:36How many pool parties or beach parties have you worn a cover-up or not actually worn a bathing suit at all because you were afraid of how your body looked?

0:47I am not trying to guilt you about that.

0:49I know about that because I have lived that.

0:52I spent most of my early adult life 52 pounds heavier than I am today.

0:59And so much of that weight was distributed all over my body.
