They make you feel guilty if you do anything different from them. I don’t know if women in this movement think they can eat chips all day and insist they love their bodies the way they are. If so, there’s a crossed wire somewhere. So I think you’re right on track. Keep going!

True I am feeling so much better. And I’m getting stronger numbers on scale aren’t as important as that.

Thanks 🙂 And yes that is my main focus. I know for over all health losing weight would be good for me. But I am already feeling so much better and stronger and I don’t think I’ve lost anything.

You. Can. The trick is to make the goals the stronger, more flexible, healthy part, and ditch the numbers on the scale all together.

Wanting to be healthy is a way of loving your body, as far as I’m concerned – the changes you’re making are meant to impact the inside of you, not the outside.
