Body Love?
Ok, let’s start with ‘like’ or maybe ‘accept’ or maybe just not ‘consistently hate on ourselves’.
Summer is coming and I can already sense the dread. The fear, the panic…
I can hear it in the words of the women around me.
“I need to start exercising”
“I need to lose this belly"
“Too much cellulite, bingo wings, saggy tits, flabby arse”
“Nothing fits”
Do any of these feel familiar to you?
-
You feel safer in the winter
-
You feel self-conscious as it starts to warm up
-
You start comparing yourself to 20-year-olds on social media
-
Ridiculous ‘diets’ keep popping up on your social feed
​
You promised yourself
​
-
that it would be different this year.
-
That you would ‘eat healthily’
-
That you would ‘get fit’
-
That you’d lose this stone, 2 stone….
But, you didn’t
You didn’t ‘achieve’ the ‘dream body’, the ‘bikini body’ or the ‘summer body’
Or, you’ve just given up completely!!!
So, you start hating on yourself, again and if you’re honest…
-
The number on the scales makes you want to cry
-
You are a dress size you don’t recognise
-
You hate going clothes shopping
-
And you’ve stopped buying clothes that you love
-
In fact, you’ve stopped doing things you love, with the people you love
And, you feel as though you have failed. You start dreading social events and thinking of ways not to go. And you know that you are WAY more than a number…
But you feel defeated. And ashamed. And out of ideas. And actually, pretty depressed and depleted…
What if I told you that I have something that I think will help? (because I do!)
What if I told you that you:
​
-
COULD have a very different relationship with your body?
-
COULD heal your relationship with your body?
-
that your relationship with yourself is the key to healing?
​
Because we cannot heal a body that we hate…
What if I told you that you can get out of that restrict, overeat, restrict, overeat…Push the ‘fuck-it’ button…Punish yourself cycle?
​
And what if I told you that it had a LOT less to do with your ‘diet’? That an intensive exercise programme isn’t gonna fix it.
​
But...
a dose of real self-kindness (alongside this incredible programme ) just might.
​
I know you’re probably thinking that it can’t be THAT easy! But what if it is? What if tending to and befriending your body was the ONLY real way to find peace?
​
If you are ready to:
​
-
Stop being in an abusive relationship...with yourself
-
Reduce that awful bloody sense of panic and self-hatred
-
Begin to feel at home in your own skin
-
Start truly taking care of yourself
-
Remove the need for ‘willpower’
-
Stop obsessing about food, weight, appearance
-
Reduce the mindless, emotional eating
-
Reduce those intrusive thoughts of not doing or being enough or too much
-
Care WAY less about what ‘they’ think
-
Walk into the event feeling truly confident
-
Have so much more time and energy to do the things you love this summer
You are going to LOVE ...
