#0014- How I lost 40 pounds from a place of loving myself.

Today I share part of my story.

How I lost 40 pounds from a place of lovig myself.

Our stories about ourselves can cause emotional pain.

I remember standing on the scale 2 years ago and it read 201 pounds. 

My first thought was “I shouldn’t weigh this much.”

Immediately, I felt shame and disappointment in myself.

I wanted to hide.

I didn’t want to wear cute clothes, or get dressed up.

It was almost like I didn’t deserve to look cute.

I look back now and realize I gave all my power away to that number.

I thought if I kept shaming myself, I would motivate myself to lose weight and eat healthier.  

I was wrong.

I actually started to separate the facts from the thoughts.

The fact: scale says 201.  

Then I went to work.

I started rewiring my brain that the number means NOTHING about me.

I was CHOOSING to believe I shouldn’t weigh that much.

I was punching myself in the face over and over evert-time I thought something was wrong with me.

I decided to change the story.

I claimed God’s truth on my life that no matter what the scale says, I am 100% worthy, loveable & capable.

I just kept practicing believing that.

As I believed it, I started loving myself.

And from that love, I was patient as I took action to lose 40 pounds.

If I can do it, you can too.

But I promise you….it starts with separating the number on the scale from your worthiness.
