I don’t know about you, but in my twenties, I thought you really couldn’t be thin enough or rich enough. You may have wanted to be a THIN-king or THIN-queen. I learned that being thin didn’t make me happy, so I figured out more money wouldn’t make me happier either.\u00a0 Losing weight just makes you smaller.\u00a0 The potential for happiness was in my mind and not my body.\u00a0\u00a0I made peace with my body and became really grateful for it, through work. . .through thinking differently.\u00a0 I let go of the word thin<\/em>. I don’t dig it. I realized also, that whether it’s about being thin, rich, getting a great partner, landing a job or whatever is never going to be enough. . .if you don’t think you<\/strong> are.<\/p>\n

I am a Beach Body\u00ae coaching now\u00a0because of my own weight struggles, the roller coaster, yo-yo, that vicious cycle of weight loss and how crappy you can feel in the process. First of all, a weigh loss journey is fine, but let’s call it a wait<\/em> loss, like stop waiting to LOVE<\/strong> yourself. Don’t put conditions or numbers on it. It’s a weight love program, a self-love lifestyle<\/em>. I advocate being FIT<\/strong>. Don’t you want to feel fit? You want to feel good in your body, right?<\/p>\n

F<\/strong>eeling
\nI<\/strong>ncredibly
\nT<\/strong>errific<\/p>\n

Yeah. . .that’s what I’m talkin’ about!<\/em> A F<\/strong>abulous I<\/strong>nspired T<\/strong>oned type of vibe versus thin. THINK KIND IN YOUR MIND! Whenever you get into the “Do I look fat in this outfit?<\/em>” Stop that damn “thin” word and THIN-Kind<\/em>!<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>houghts
\nH<\/strong>appy
\nI<\/strong>nspiring
\nN<\/strong>urturing
\nK<\/strong>ind<\/p>\n

Remember God created your beautiful body and it’s perfect for you<\/strong>. This Universe would never shame a sunset that was too full, tell a rosebud to hide its softness, the moon to make its roundness flat, or the curves of a mountain to instead look\u00a0like a tree. . .because it’s not. Embrace your form now and make your tweaks from a place of love. I don’t do “no pain, no gain<\/em>.” I don’t do force, I do focus<\/strong>. The opposite of excuses are intentions. Let your intention be to FEEL good. Goals to be a certain weight or size are okay for motivation, but aim for strong and healthy which is more empowering. Love<\/em> yourself to your goal. Whether I coach you or not, I’m cheering you on and I believe in you. And remember NEVER compare your body to another, just rock what you got<\/em>!<\/p>\n
