My body now is simply a by-product of learning
to love myself no matter what.
I wish I could go back and tell my old self what I know now.
It would have kept me from wasting so many years
yo-yo dieting and starving myself.
I wouldn’t have punished myself with disgusting and crazy diets.
Or hid my naked body in the dark all those years.
I wouldn’t have waited so long to experience my deepest desires and dreams like having a career or experiencing true love!
I wouldn’t have shied away from being seen at parties and social events just because i was afraid of people seeing how much I weighed.
I wouldn’t have felt so insecure, intimidated and compared myself to other people all the time.
I may have been smiling before, but insideI was miserable and unhappy.
And yet, I love that 1.0 version of myself so much.
I have compassion for her because she didn’t know what I know now.
WHICH IS:
I wasn’t broken.
There was nothing “wrong with me."
My body was just trying to get my attention so we could reconnect,
and heal the emptiness inside.
So I could come home.
Because there’s a myth about weight loss and beauty.
Society tells you your best life is waiting for you
at a certain size and shape.
And that if we meet their standards, we’ll finally be enough,
beautiful, happy, healthy and successful..
BUT IT'S A LIE!
That's why I created this BABE, REDEFINED course.
So that you could experience the freedom and truth that I know now:
THAT YOU CAN LOVE YOUR BODY RIGHT NOW.
