Once upon a time there was a planet in a distant galaxy whose inhabitants all had perfectly proportioned bodies. Everyone was beautiful and had all the curves in the right places, but no one was happy because they longed to meet people who were different. So they sent to earth for men and women to bring back to their planet to marry. But these people on earth who were not perfect became perfect as soon as they landed on this distant planet, the magnificent planet Xanadar.

So the Xanadarians could only find imperfect people if they came to earth to live. Many of them did that and they became movie stars and rock stars and fashion models and they all married imperfect people and lived happily ever after. Well, not the movie stars.

So if you want to be perfect either you go to planet Xanadar and become perfect, or send the person who wants you to be perfect there and he or she will see how unhappy the perfect people are and will come back and fall in love with you.

I dont know how the Xanadarians deal with kissing; you will just have to find that out for yourself.

The other day, I was on a health-related message board and one of the women mentioned that she had watched the Ms. Universe competition the previous night. She was feeling depressed because she had compared herself to the beautiful women in the competitionand found herself wanting. I understood completely.

Dont we all do it? We compare ourselves to a beauty queen or Hollywood actress and then beat ourselves up because we dont look like that. In my case, my comparison standard was Halle Berry.

Then one day, it hit me. Although God has blessed Halle Berry with some good genes, her body didnt happen by accident. She works for it. I only see the results; I don't see the sacrifices and discipline that it took to get there.

Halle Berry has taken what she has and has done the best she can with it. She takes care of herself; I can do the same. now, I will never have Halle Berrys body. But, I can:

• Love and enjoy my body to its fullest extent. It is a gift.

• Keep Psalm 139:14 close to my heart: "I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well."

• Eat to nourish my body and listen to its signals for when to eat and when to stop.

• Eat food that makes me beautiful inside and out.

• exercise because it is fun, not view it as a punishment for allowing myself to become overweight.

• Look for fun ways to move throughout the day, doing everything from Latin dancing, to climbing stairs, to jump roping, to skipping, to hula hooping.

You know what? When I made that attitude adjustment and focused on what I have and what I can do instead of wasting energy comparing myself to others, I lost weight and became fit. best of all, I added color to a life that was previously drab.

now, I cant wait to get out of bed to discover what crazy way Im going to come up with to move my body. It feels so good. I dont do it for a wedding, class reunion or any other external goal. I do it for me because I deserve it. So do you.

You can either drag yourself through life or dance through it. I choose to dance. How about you?
