You are not fat

-

You are not fat- you have fat. 


When I listen to the women I work with, this is the first thing I explain to them. 

You are not fat.  Your body has stored fat.  Fat is extra energy stored.

Think about that truth.  The difference is subtle but oh so powerful.  

The self loathing and self judgment begins to diminish.  

What are some other things you may have? 

You have dry skin. 
You have short fingernails.
You have long hair.
You have cracked heels.

I would like you to consider that you can think about having stored fat in the same way as you think about these other four conditions.  

Ask yourself, "What is the process I can do to improve this condition?"

Do this without beating up on yourself.  Just begin the steps and follow through. 

When you do this, you will get the results you want. 

Without judgment, you begin to put lotion on your skin everyday.
Without judgment, you begin to apply nail strengthener and stop chewing your nails.
Without judgement, you look through picture of short hair styles you like and make an appointment with your stylist. 
Without judgement, you purchase hydrating heel treatment or schedule a pedicure. 

With the same mindset, you can begin reducing the amount of stored fat on your body.  
But you must stop beating up on yourself and do it from a place of nurturing and compassion. 

When you do this, you will create lasting change. 

WHY?
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? 

The difference is the mindset and the underlying healing that comes. 

When you decide to love on yourself rather than beat up on yourself, you will care for yourself well.  

I am privileged to work with women as they learn to think about themselves in a caring way.  When they shift their thoughts, they feel better.  When they feel better, they act in totally different ways.  When they change the way they act, they get the results they are hoping for.  

 Human anger does not achieve God's righteous purpose.- James 1:20

The One Thing You Need to Know...

The One Thing You Need to Know...  What is it?  What is the one thing you need to know in order to achieve your goals? If your goal is to lose weight, is the one thing you need to know, a diet , powder or pill? If your goal is to manage your time, is the one thing you need to know, the best planner? If your goal is to exercise, is the one thing you need to know, the best workout? If your goal is to have more self confidence, is the one thing you need to know, the best mantras? Would you believe me if I told you that the one thing you need to know for accomplishing   any goal does not come from outside of you?  It comes from within.  One day, I was hosting a group call with my coaching clients, and I asked the question, "What is the one thing you need to know in order to continue in the wellness steps we have been practicing?" I listened to the answers from the group and then they asked me the one thing I needed to know. My ...

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?

Are You Okay With It Taking Time?  Every change we make, every accomplishment we achieve takes a certain amount of time.   We could even agree that the greatest accomplishments take more time.   But when it comes to losing weight, we want it to be fast.  This messes with our mind, our emotions and our commitment. I want you to think about when you enrolled in college.  You decided on a field of study and a degree you set out to earn and graduate.   Or, you can think about High School.  You set out to graduate.   When you signed up, you expected that it would take a number of days you would need to continue taking action.  You made a plan, followed through and repeated.....Over and over and over.   When you were a sophomore, did you say to yourself, "I haven't graduated yet I think I'll quit?" In the 6th month of your Senior year did you throw up your hands and stop completing the requ...

The New Normal

The New Normal How do we decide what normal eating is? Who decides?  Is it us or is it culture? Is it my thoughts, or society's thoughts? What is the association we are creating with our thoughts about food being part of our life events? Do we really need pizza and beer to make watching football more enjoyable?  Do we need to have sugary treats to celebrate the Holidays? I personally, had to spend time questioning my involvement in spreading this confusion during family gatherings. One of the qualities I wanted to be known for was to be a good cook.  I had to decide what I thought a "good cook" meant to me.  Was it to bake foods that were loaded with mind altering substances? Or, could I decide that preparing food that was actually higher on the nutritional scale is of more value? Hmm, what an interesting question.  What is my new normal? Another question I asked myself is, "How am I going to feel after I eat those mind-altering foods?  W...
