Body Wisdom
You do not give up! And I am assuming that you just kept on doing your best. You do not get all stressed because you know this packs on the pounds. You do not worry about altering calories or recording them to the precise number. You did not have the time, because you had a life to live and it did not fit in. You were okay with this. You relaxed, KNOWING that by doing things gently (no extremes), that all would come to be. You know that respecting yourself creates a gentle balance within that is true beauty, harmony and optimum for all body functions including weight loss. You know that extreme diets and exercise are hard on the body, leaving one altered, depleted and eventually, MOODY! You know that eating a bit more one day or a bit more healthy fat than “ideal” is okay and even healthy. You know that chosing fruits and vegetables more often just feels better. You know that movement should feel good. Maybe for once, you were just listening to the wisdom of your body and so balance was actually achieved at a cellular level. Even though! if you were to ask a dieter or read an article or book, you might feel inadequate. YOU KNOW BETTER !
Months from now this is what I think………………………………. My clothes fit better and I feel at peace. It was really this easy? Why in the hell did I make things so difficult? Answer: I let a commerical society dictate “what I know” when the only knowing comes from with in. Finally, I listened. Still, the emotional times are not ALWAYS so easy. That seems to be the most difficult of it all. Sometimes it is just fine to sit in the unknown and know it’s okay too.
Inspired by a plateau buster & a self hater here at Buddyslim.
Very encouraging! Thanks for the inspiration
This was great, I’m totally a self hater. It’s so easy to become comsumed by my negatives. I need to learn how to listen to my body more and just live…live healthy…but just live! Thank you….

Beautifully said Jennifer…
Awe inspiring, thank you.
I was just thinking today about how hard losing weight is, and how our society is infatuated with skinny but pushes eating like it’s going out of style, and that that has to be deliberate! Thanks for this.
YOu tell ‘em sista!
Now if only all of America knew this.
