  • I know you’re scared. . I know you’re scared that if you allow yourself to eat the food you won’t ever stop gaining weight. . I know that in the past you have felt unhappy in a larger body (that’s why you dieted in the first place). . I know that you remember “feeling so good” when you lost weight or were on those diets. . I also know that those diets have failed you. . You were left feeling like a failure, like you had no self control, no discipline... . Saying things like: . “why can’t I just stay on track, have some willpower & keep this up?!” . I’ll tell you why: . 1. Diets are designed to fail, an estimated 95% of people regain the weight they lost on a diet (nearly EVERYONE). . 2. Because you’re afraid (keep reading for how to dig into this). . Here’s a powerful question to think about today: . What do you believe it would mean about you if you gained weight? What do you believe other people will think of you when you gain weight? . 👆👆👆The answers to these questions are the FEARS that are keeping you stuck. . You’re trying to manipulate your body because you are afraid of what it might mean about you, if your body looked “less acceptable” . *let that soak in* *take a deep breath* *place your hand on your heart* . Now repeat after me: . 💓I am more than a body. . My body is the LEAST interesting thing about me. . My body is simply an “earth suit” that allows me to share my gifts & magic with the world. . My purpose is to BE MYSELF-my body is simply a vehicle to do that. . I can take care of my body in a way that is not obsessive or restrictive. . My body is the least interesting thing about me AND I can take care of it in a loving way. . I am SO MUCH MORE than a body💓. . I know you’re afraid to release the tight grip you have on your body size. . I know you are terrified of “letting yourself go” . I know because I’ve been there, & I hear it from EVERY. SINGLE. WOMAN who joins FFA. . You aren’t broken. A broken system has been conditioned into us. . I can help you reprogram your system to something that aligns with YOU! .
