This week we take a closer look at the important relationship of intentionally loving yourself to help you make not only your weight loss but your entire life richer and more meaningful.

We often take on the conditional and judgmental messaging we grow up with that if you have weight to lose your body and therefore you as a person are somehow less lovable. We then rationalize that assumption by unconsciously believing that when we lose weight, we will give ourselves feel love for ourselves and others easily. This condition we put on permission to love ourselves can be a major contributing factor to what makes weight loss feel harder and take longer than it needs to. 

This is the great lie we participate in that keep us apart from the life we year for. 

Loving ourselves fully and without conditions only needs our willingness. Once we are willing, it becomes a practice of devotion. What does it mean to devote yourself to loving you?

To devote yourself is to demonstrate in action your loyalty, pledge, and allegiance to that practice. We do this with our partners and with our children and we can do this with ourselves.
