You Can Love Your Body AND Want to Lose Weight: Both Can Be True

Do you believe that in order to lose weight, you have to hate your body first? Most of us do, even if we've never said it out loud. We think we have to be disgusted enough, unhappy enough, at war with ourselves enough, to finally change. And then we're told that if we really loved ourselves, we wouldn't want to change at all. So we're stuck between two impossible options. My friend, both of them are wrong.In this episode I'm talking about the lie so many of us have carried for years, that you have to choose between appreciating your body and wanting to lose weight. I spent decades at war with mine, sure that if I could just hate it enough, I'd finally whip it into shape. And all that ever got me was more misery and the same weight. Because you cannot hate yourself into a body you love. It never lasts. I'll share the moment this week, looking at some photos from a day out with my son, when I realized I could feel genuinely good in my body AND still want to lose these 10 pounds, at the very same time. Because appreciating your body isn't the reward you get at the finish line. It's the starting line. It's the thing that finally makes the change stick.If you're ready to take care of your body instead of punishing it, my free guide is built on exactly that.
