I Am So Much More Than My Body Fat

I am definitely not trying to sound like losing weight and controlling eating is an easy thing to do. I do think it helps me to remember a couple of things that kind of take the pressure off a little. I am more than just a physical body. Or another way to say it is that the core of who I am as a spiritual being is dwelling in and occupying this body.

Now having said that, I know it is important for me to do my best to keep this body healthy, but I think it is important for me to honor myself as a whole being. Shifting my focus and awareness onto who I am as a non physical being, takes some of the attention off who I am in this world of form and it also takes some pressure off from a physical perspective. We think so much about this physical world (what we look like, what others look like, what we eat, what we have, what we would like to have, that we often lose focus on who we really are as spiritual beings.

The essence of living life in its fullest is an inward state that manifests outwardly.

I totally encourage you in all your weight loss goals, but I also want to encourage you to find peace in yourself and accept your present physical condition without judging yourself or comparing yourself to others or what you think you should be.

You are a wonderful part of God's living spirit in this material world in addition to the beauty of form you occupy.

Seek peace within yourself, do what you can do each moment and the weight loss will come in time.

Have faith and stand strong!

You can achieve your goals, just don't give up :)
