What if you were to take all that time, energy, money and emotion you put toward losing weight and use it to practice self-acceptance and appreciation?
Trying to lose weight from a place of self-loathing, disgust, desperation and fear will keep you stuck in a cycle of try-fail, leading to feeling shame and guilt. When you shift to focusing on self-acceptance and appreciation, not only will weight loss not matter as much, but it may even be a bi-product of your naturally healthier choices.
