Love the body you are in~
The body thrives to the degree it's nurtured & nourished spiritually, emotionally & nutritionally ~
I developed a chronic love/hate relationship with my body right from a very young age. Morphing into a life-long struggle, my fears with food and unhealthy relationship with my body consumed me 24/7, infecting and controlling all aspects and relationships, from the most casual to even the most intimate. Add depression, anxiety, and insecurities into the mix, I was an absolute mess! And believe me, I did everything I could to prevent my frenzied and chaotic inner world from being revealed to my external world, personally and professionally. Because of this, I finessed the ability to be a chameleon in any given situation.
It was not until I was in my late forties that I found the proper support, tools and guidance to help me overcome my mental and emotional struggles pertaining to:
- self-image
- body image
- body hate
- weight issues
- chronic dieting
- binge eating
- over-eating
- emotional eating
- fear of food
- fear of eating, and a
- paradigm of perfection.
All of this not only tainted the lens in how I viewed myself, but it also affected the state of health of my mind, emotions, and my body.
