Why Try to Shrink your Body with food Or Exercise?

The diet/fitness paradigms tell us when we should eat, how much, what things, and how we should feel about whatever we choose to consume.

The Diet Industry tells us to eat less and move more, this is the way to the promised land of lighter weight and smaller bodies. Others tell us to eat as much as you want but just eat these particular foods. The Diet/Wellness industries have no shortage of things that they want to tell us to do, cleanse, fast, juice...and the list goes on

If we do something that doesn’t co-exist with this paradigm, we feel guilty – or sad, because we really do want to lose weight. When we go to a nutritionist - they give us everything we should do, a schedule, a calorie count, and a macronutrient assignment. If we follow the plan, it will work.

Only but - sometimes it doesn't - and there's also the possibility that you just couldn't stick with it. All diet/lifestyle plans are regimented, they have to be to shrink fat.

I'm just wondering, why did they forget to tell you that it actually works for about .04% of the population? (Based on several studies that are NOT backed by multi-million dollar industries)

The diet industry is the only industry that puts out an inferior product - and the consumer gets blamed when it doesn’t work. It’s horrible and unethical.

There are so many reasons that diets don’t work. It affects all who are intertwined in its sticky web of negativity, disguised as discipline and empowerment; which eventually turns into shame and sadness. You know those thoughts and what they are… Ugh, I am a loser! Why can’t I get it together?! This is the one thing in my life that I haven’t succeeded at! I want to lose weight!! If I had the discipline that I needed to have...

I have had all these thoughts, and more, and worse.

The diet paradigm controls us, it keeps us under tight watch. The multi-billion dollar industry can’t just let go of us, it needs you to supply them with money! The Diet paradigm is everywhere, it’s in our medical system, it’s in our media, it’s in the stores, it’s in our kitchens being cooked - it is the air that we breathe.

COMPASSIONATELY REJECT THIS PRADIGM - LET IT GO - YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR WEIGHT.

If you feel sad about your weight, reject the diet/fitness paradigm! There is nothing more painful than holding onto a lie. You are so much more than what they tell you you need to be, a thin body. Tell the diet/fitness industries that you have been enlightened and you no longer need its services.

Take back control of your eating and movement, become intuitive, love yourself enough not to believe all the diet chatter!

Listen to yourself more.

Compassionately reject the diet mentality. You know yourself best. Give yourself permission to eat; eat as much as you need. You have been born into this life, and you have a God-given right to eat any food that you want! Release the paradigm that smaller bodies are better, it's not true, it is a lie that has been perpetuated for a long time. All fitness/diet thoughts that make you sad or bring you down are lies.

I know that some may be saying to themselves - I can’t, or, I would never do that, or, I’m afraid.

I get it, I thought those things myself. I send so much compassion and love your way. I had no idea what life looked like outside of these paradigms, I literally had no idea how to consciously live in love and compassion for myself. When it comes down to it I only knew how to follow the "rules."

Changing is a process.

On the other side of it all - there is beauty and peace. There is understanding and self-worth no matter what your body size is. You can see what you have been blinded by, unnecessary rules and regimens. You will find self-worth and empowerment that comes from inside of you, not from some external force that deems you worthy of it. You can create more head space for things that really matter in your life, like hobbies or family. You can become free.

I really love this quote, I am Christian, so I use this verbiage, you can insert your own Deity.

"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." Ezra Taft Benson

If you like the way this sounds and feel like you need some help to get there, just ask. I would love to help. I truly believe it's was what I was born to do.
