I mean, for me, I think in the beginning, I really did.
I said yes so little that I don't think I even knew the difference.
I really didn't.
But you start to learn it.
You start to realize that,
the things that are really bothering you, you know, are generally, like, it's all internal.
You know, I would say, like, oh, like, I had this whole thing where I would panic about getting dressed, and I would obsess about, like, pieces of my body, and it would take me, like, hours to leave the house, which is just...
stupid at this day and age.
Well, it's stupid 10 years later.
At the time, it was paralyzing.
I would be like, I can't leave the house.
I don't have anything to wear.
I don't look good.
And finding out what the yes was, I have this wonderful nanny named Jenny McCarthy, who I talk about in the book.
Jenny once said to me, she said, Shonda, you have to take your thighs with you everywhere you go, so you might as well love them.
And it was that what I realized was I wasn't taking advantage of the idea of just saying yes to loving my body in whatever form it was in.
Even though I thought I was that person, I clearly hadn't been doing that.
And all of the fear and the anxiety of like going out and something that I was like, I don't know if my stomach looks okay or my leg.
That went away somehow where I was like, it has to go with me wherever I go.
So I might as well love it.
