Happiness At Every Size

There comes a time when you realize that you can't continue on the way you once did. You realize that calories, food, and exercise are ruining your life and you want off the high speed train to Nowheresville. 

You mentally understand that this behavior isn't and hasn't ever served you and you are ready to change. You are ready to make peace with food. The mountain though that I think so many people struggle with isn't necessarily just the food piece, it's the body piece, and it can be quite a climb.

You know you have to make changes with your food, BUT there seems to be a piece to this that you are afraid of...weight gain.

It's scary, I get it... BUT there has to be a moment of realization where you are making peace with the idea that the outcome of this journey could lead to weight gain. There has to be that moment of realization and acceptance that there is a possibility that you were genetically predisposed for a larger body, and in order to heal, you MUST make peace with that idea. We are more than a size. 

It's a hard thing to do. We as a society hold so many limiting beliefs around size and accepting that your size may not be what's trendy at this moment in our culture feels overwhelming. You want to fit in, and you want to feel good in your body and in your clothes, but I promise you, all of this is still possible regardless of your size.

Part of healing is not only having to rethink your beliefs around food and health, but you are also going to have to rewire your thoughts on other aspects of life as well that you believed were attached to a size. 

We see the hashtag, "#healthyateverysize", and it is so true and so wonderful, but it goes so far beyond that.

There is also...

success at every size

sexiness at every size

beauty at every size

control at every size

motherhood at every size

marriage at every size

peace at every size

joy at every size

...and so much more. Basically my friends, there is #happinessateverysize and it's time to let go of those old thoughts that were holding you back from living your very best life so that you can grab ahold of the amazing life you have that's staring you in the face. It's there, I promise. If you need help, I am here, but I promise that it's there.

Let's start small. Let's just take a single moment today to notice the good that has happened in the body you have at this very moment. 

What amazing emotions have you experienced in YOUR body. Share them with me, notice them with me, and begin the process here with me. 

Ready? Set. Go!
