What a special group of women!!

What are you finding are the false beliefs you have been holding on to that have kept you entrenched with the wrong behaviors?

"Long-lasting change can only come through kindness towards yourself, a curiosity as to why you do what you do and what lies beneath the behavior, and a willingness to take personal responsibility on your own behalf."

What are you going to do this week to celebrate beautiful YOU? ;-)

Ladies, you are awesome!  Your remarks are genuine and authentic, not superficial at all and I am inspired by your thoughts and actions.

I have committed to being nice to me this week by not pushing myself so hard and just believing that everything will be ok...one day at a time.  My husband and I are going out to lunch tomorrow to a new vegetarian restaurant.  I typically only make lunch appts with clients and friends and do not make time for  the two of us, it feels good to me and I know he appreciates it too.  In addition to this, I am making a concerted effort to surround myself with positive people who bring light and happiness in to my life and minimize my interactions with those that tend to bring me down (which is typically followed by an eating episode), even if they are clients.
Here's to our beautiful selves....cheers!

What are your thoughts about last night's (2/7) class?

What are your discoveries this week as you journal and reflect on Monday night's discussion?

African Women....

Here are some pictures from my trips to Rwanda.  I spoke about the women there this week, I am so drawn to them.  I have observed the way they openly and happily celebrate life through song and dance.  They are not self conscious of their bodies and can be so open about showing joy in the moment.  It is ironic that women who have so much less than we do can be so uninhibited.  I have allowed myself to accept unreasonable expectations of my body and be in a constant state of punishment and unhappiness with myself, no matter what I have accomplished in life.  I am ready for the journey and look forward to sharing with the group!
