Emma's Body Love Heroes

I believe that all women can learn to love their bodies and free themselves from all the self-loathing that diet culture encourages! But it does take some work. I hope this podcast and The Body Love Method™ give you lots of tools to love your body. But I know one size does not fit all so I want to share with you some of the biggest influencers in my Body Love Journey. I call them my Body Love Heroes.

Here is an amazing affirmation from her book, You can heal your life. “In the infinity of life where I am, All is perfect, whole and complete. I accept health as the natural state of my being. I now consciously release any mental patterns within me That could express dis-ease in any way. I love and approve of myself. I love and approve of my body. I feed it nourishing food and beverages. I exercise it in ways that are fun. I recognise my body as a wondrous and magnificent machine, And I feel privileged to live in it. I love lots of energy.
