Your nervous system is signaling to you that it's not safe to make that change.Let's talk about weight loss and safety.  Your nervous system is in control and is working from ideas you absorbed when you were a child - about whether exercise is good or is punishment and about how it's ok to look or act.There is a mind-body connection regarding healthy living and we're breaking that down to help you to understand it - and giving some tips for regulating your nervous system as well.
