Life is too wonderful to spend it trying to lose the same 5 lbs over and over again.

It’s also hard enough without this.

There is love, connection, hope, joy and birth.

But there is also heartache, struggle, despair and loss.

And within it all, is you my love ❤️

From this perspective, how does focusing on trying to make your body that bit slimmer seem to you? 

These words aren’t to shame you if you’re on a weight loss journey. Not at all.

They’re for you if you want to stop binge eating, to help you question what you’re really here for…

I’m very intrigued as to what comes up for you as you reflect on this and I’d love for you to drop me an email if you feel the nudge to share.

(I’d also gladly share with you what comes up for me if you’re intrigued too.)
