I don’t know about you, but in my twenties, I thought you really couldn’t be thin enough or rich enough. You may have wanted to be a THIN-king or THIN-queen. I learned that being thin didn’t make me happy, so I figured out more money wouldn’t make me happier either. Losing weight just makes you smaller. The potential for happiness was in my mind and not my body. I made peace with my body and became really grateful for it, through work. . .through thinking differently. I let go of the word thin. I don’t dig it. I realized also, that whether it’s about being thin, rich, getting a great partner, landing a job or whatever is never going to be enough. . .if you don’t think you are.
I am a Beach Body® coaching now because of my own weight struggles, the roller coaster, yo-yo, that vicious cycle of weight loss and how crappy you can feel in the process. First of all, a weigh loss journey is fine, but let’s call it a wait loss, like stop waiting to LOVE yourself. Don’t put conditions or numbers on it. It’s a weight love program, a self-love lifestyle. I advocate being FIT. Don’t you want to feel fit? You want to feel good in your body, right?
Feeling
Incredibly
Terrific
Yeah. . .that’s what I’m talkin’ about! A Fabulous Inspired Toned type of vibe versus thin. THINK KIND IN YOUR MIND! Whenever you get into the “Do I look fat in this outfit?” Stop that damn “thin” word and THIN-Kind!
Thoughts
Happy
Inspiring
Nurturing
Kind
Remember God created your beautiful body and it’s perfect for you. This Universe would never shame a sunset that was too full, tell a rosebud to hide its softness, the moon to make its roundness flat, or the curves of a mountain to instead look like a tree. . .because it’s not. Embrace your form now and make your tweaks from a place of love. I don’t do “no pain, no gain.” I don’t do force, I do focus. The opposite of excuses are intentions. Let your intention be to FEEL good. Goals to be a certain weight or size are okay for motivation, but aim for strong and healthy which is more empowering. Love yourself to your goal. Whether I coach you or not, I’m cheering you on and I believe in you. And remember NEVER compare your body to another, just rock what you got!
