GIRL

Hello! I’d like you to meet Girl.

Let me tell you a little story about Girl.

Girl becomes super sick. Girl does an elimination diet as well as detoxes other areas of her life. Girl’s sickness goes away, and girl feels so much better. Girl also loses weight. Girl becomes obsessed with “clean eating” and weight loss. Girl continues to fight her body to get down to the lowest weight she’s told she “should” weigh. She gets so close to her ideal weight, but her body is fighting her every step of the way. Her body weight goes up, girl restricts even more. Her body weight goes down briefly and then out of the blue, it begins to rise again. Girl binges and then restricts even more. Girl decides she just needs to try a little harder. Girl is hungry, exhausted, and tired of the fight. Girl decides there must be a better way. Girl decides to stop restricting and fighting, and start trusting. Girl gives all power back to her body, carefully listening to it’s needs and giving it what it needs. Girl relaxes around food and her body. Girl is much happier.

Does Girl remind you of anyone? Are there parts of Girl’s story that could be your story too? Are you tired of fighting your body? Do you wish you could just eat like a regular person?

Girl’s story is my story. And I’m here to tell you that there is a solution. There is a way you can work with your body and stop fighting it. I am by no means an expert. In fact, it’s only been a few months since I left the world of weight loss and weight loss coaching and started out on this journey, but I’d like to share with you the steps I’m taking, things I’ve learned along the way, and things I’m currently learning.

Let’s call this series GIRL. GIRL standing for the things this journey is all about: Grace, Inspiration, Respect, and Love.

How about it? You in?
