I’m not in an relationship at this time although I want to be. My action step is instead of focusing on the fact that I am not with someone, I’m going to turn that energy into loving me and taking care of me. Getting my hair and nails done on a regular basis, going shopping for new clothes, and just learning to accept my body and stop hiding under big sweaters when I dress for work.
For my body I always feel like doing yoga with it and for it, so I will try to get started with that.
Right now I am feeling too low and depressed that I cant even think of how can I better my relationship with husband. Its not that bad, but its definitely not good.
I am getting a pedicure after work TONIGHT! I’ve wanted one for months but I always make excuses and here’s where the 2 things in the video come together…I don’t take care of me but then I blame my husband and my kids that I don’t have time or that I didn’t get the pedicure, as if they are responsible for me taking care of me, as if they should “make” me go…so AHA moment here…I’m sabatoging myself and my relationships! Thank you, Sarah!!!
11. Sometimes I wonder how my husband puts up with me. He works full time but he still does a lot around the house and yet I find myself nagging and complaining about the things he doesn’t do. He used to be so romantic and i miss that – I want to feel more lives and appreciated but that should work both ways. I need to make more of an effort and show my appreciation. The odd kids or cuddle here and there….why should he be the one to initiate?!
2. I rarely take time to pamper my body. I bought a lovely smelling moisturiser and gradual game ran and I’m going to use it daily (or as close to as possible!) In going to regularly use a face mask and generally take better care of myself!
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your inspiration and motivation. I’m loving being part of this challenge.
1. I have the most loving and thoughtful husband I could ever wish for and I know I take him for granted so I am going to make a point of kissing and hugging him and telling him how much I love him when he gets in from work (I do that anyway but I’ve got to admit it’s sometimes half-heartedly if I’m in the middle of doing something else!).
2. I’m going to remember to look after my skin properly – moisturise every day and give myself a pedicure once a week to hopefully make my feet look nice in sandals (rather than rough and cracked heels).
3. For fun I’m going to enjoy a nice glass of gin and tonic sitting in the conservatory cuddled up to my dog – bliss!!
Hi Sarah,
I am so grateful to have stumbled across you & this fabulous challenge.
Day 4:
1: I am going to throw away the scales!! OMG, this is such a HUGE thing for me. It might take me a while to do this, not sure yet until I try to do it.
2: Care for my husband when he comes home from hospital after being badly injured in a cycling accident & when he’s well enough I’m going to arrange a “fun” date not centred around food.
3: Prioritise making time just for me.
Thanks again xx
Spot the deliberate mistake? Comment should be Day 5 Oooopsie!
Sarah, I am so happy to have found you!! it is so rare to find someone (for me) who believes the things i do and has the same philosophy as me. I found Marc David (who is an absolute genius!) and you! 🙂 yaaay!!! I believe all things come as they need to, when we are ready for them. usually i am very capable and take care of myself but these months i have gotten out of whack completely! and i needed something to inspire me further. i found you! thank you!!
i am going to go for a walk in my favourite forest (something i usually do every day but have not done in a month!) today and i am going to listen to my intuition about what food to eat and not my ‘brain’ ahaha and also shall eat very much in tune with the moment 🙂 thank you for reminding me of all i already know. and inspiring me to make the step. however small. in joy and love and light to all !:)
I don’t have boyfriend and I’m not looking for a new relationship. Because after my last breake-up I realized that I forgot myself by putting the other at the first place. So now I want to care the relationship with myself and I think it’s more difficult (for me) than have a relationship with someone else. I’m in “ME” mode. What I want to do to make money and pay my bills and in the same to time be happy to hopefully lose weight and live completely in my body. Today I’m going to my yoga class that I begun when I begun LMWL and I really enjoy it. I wish I could go more often during the week.
Love & Body
1. My husband loves to chat, tell me about his day and due to full time study (plus full time work) for 6 months of the year, I feel that I don’t always make time to listen to him (or my mind is elsewhere). I will practice focusing on what he is saying over dinner tonight.
2. When I don’t use moisturizer on my skin regularly or paint my toenails (doesn’t matter what color), it is in an indicator that I am not in a good place. Tonight I am going to have a shower, put moisturizer on my skin. Sunday morning, I am going to paint my toenails.
Listening to this today has made me realise I am constantly thinking about how to lose weight that it takes precedence on most my other thinking. And yet, I am probably not that ‘over weight’ but I just hate my pear shape figure and am always trying to work on straightening those hips and thighs – an impossible task.
Today I am going to clear my dining room. The table is covered with papers from work that I never actually deal with. There are piles and folders and books all over it such that I can’t use it to eat off! Today’s task so that I can then use it for what it was designed for.
I am on holiday from work today and am planning to spend time with my husband. We are going to town and will have some fun time visiting the Art Gallery.
I have always struggled with my weight and relationship with food as long as I can remember. My negative self image is affecting many faucets of my life and knew I needed a change. I am not sure how I came across your site but thankful that I did. Your first video really spoke to me and looking forward to seeing the other videos to learn how to be a happier me. For fun I went to a park today for nice walk and enjoyed watching nature around me.
Wow…I could be your example within my marriage…I am going to stop criticising my husband for ‘not doing’ and start enjoying how much he loves me and appreciating the things he does do. Date nights are also going to become a priority.
To look after my body is much more difficult, but to start with I am going to nourish her from the outside…moisturise, de-fuzz (even in winter when it’s covered up a lot!) and have regular facials/massages etc…time to concentrate on the well being of my body and of my mind. Thank you
Even when I was thin (birth to 28) I thought I was fat! Then I had my 1st of 4 incredible children and I just couldn’t believe the way my body looked afterwards. Now my youngest is 14 and I am heavy and struggling with diabetes. I was able to loose weight to get my numbers normal and to get of the meds and now 2 years later my numbers are creeping up!! I don’t want to go on meds again! I want to be healthy for myself and my family❤️
For fun I learned how to make homemade strawberry yogurt!
My body has not felt like it was my own since I’ve had children. It is strong and healthy but doesn’t look the way that I imagine it to. Today I’m going to go swimming in the ocean for fun.
I just got out of a loveless relationship and I feel that was my first first step towards finding and nurturing true romance in my life. It was excruciatingly difficult and I am proud to have gotten through it.
I’m am going to start building a relationship with my body by moving more. Treadmill, walking, hiking, spinning… and also looking into other forms of movement maybe karate or dance. Also i think meditation could be crucial for me to quiet my mind down and keep be grounded, focused and calm.
I am not sure how I came across you and you program! I’m just going to say that it was GOD. He heard my heart crying out for help to get back on track with my self-love journey after a very recent and brief derailment by a diet. I will share more of my story as time goes on but EVERYTHING you said in this video has resonated with me.
Just to humor my husband, I recently signed up for golf lessons and low & behold, I fell in love with it. My lessons finished a couple of weeks ago and today my husband took the day off so that we can go play a game together! We really need to spend more time together and bond more so this will be both FUN & working on our relationship ❤️
I’ve had a really negative self image for as long as I can remember. It has influenced my entire life and choices I have made in every facet of it..I’m encouraged by your video and I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s comments!
My bouquet of flowers I enjoyed so much that I decided to walk around through the garden and make my own. I brought my puppy along and we both really enjoyed the evening!
My son died. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever experienced. My husband was not there for me because he was so wrapped up in his own grief. He needed me to be there for him, but I couldn’t because I was so wrapped up in my grief. 3 years he left. Son and husband gone, I decided I still had my health, career, and daughter and her family. Then I lost my health. A case of meningitis left me in a coma. Now, I was on disability and learning to walk and use my hands again. But I had one comfort………food………
It is 5 years later and time for a change. I am now in a loving relationship and I look forward to making this change. Today He and I went to a concert. It was great.
❤️❤️❤️
Im going through divorce,many years of pain and unhappiness, and nurturing myself has been a priority now for sometime…Really love your philosophy.Going to see my horse after I do my errands tomorrow morning-horses are for women what motorcycles are to men after-all…
Thanks for your encouragement…this journey is hard but its going to be worth it!
I can remember feeling self conscious about my body as young as 10 years old. I wore baggy clothes and hide behind that. I also went to four elementary schools and never really made friends. In middle school with another odd duck, we tried to “become” popular. It didn’t really work. I gained some confidence back in high school and college but lately it’s been low again. I recently got married to the man I love, we’ve been together for four years and married for three weeks. I just found out that he was having a online fling with an ex. We start couple’s counseling in two days and I’m hopeful and looking forward to us being better partners to one another. But when I asked why he’d even sent the first message to his ex, he said it was because I’d gained weight. He took this as I didn’t care anymore. It was looking up “When your husband calls you fat” that I found the site. We talked and he knows I’m never going to be a size two, and he says he doesn’t care aboutthat just wants me to be healthy. And I do too. I’ve been in a pretty bad funk for almost a year now. One bad job lead to a second bad job and then two months of unemployment. I have a new job I love and can walk to, which is great. I’m just trying to find what works best for me. I think there’s a hormonal component, hypothyroidism to be exact, but my doctor says my levels are high, but still normal. I don’t know what this means for me. I yoyo between diets and working out binges, starving myself, and eating for the sake of eating. I’ve yet to find a workout I enjoy all the time and will often get obsessed with working out and if I miss even a day it’s all over.
I don’t know what to do for fun. I’m going to a play at my old high school with some current friends tomorrow and that should be enjoyable. There are lots of things I want to do, and nothing is holding me back except the laziness. Depression. I have no reason to not do what I want but I’m so tired all the time and don’t know what to do next.
I’m excited to try eating without distraction tonight. We don’t have a couch since we just moved so we haven’t really watched TV which I haven’t missed. Maybe we will take a walk tonight. We live right by the water and have been taking walks at least once a day together.
I really want to love my body and cherish it but I’m finding a hard time doing that sometimes. Every workout thing I try always has cute small girls as their ad or model and I don’t see bigger girls doing the things I want to do.
I hope this will help me along my journey, I’m sick of failing myself.
Good luck to everyone out there and be sure to send some my way too! 🙂
I’ve been on and off diets since college. I’m now in my 40s and am just sick of it! I just want to live a normal life free from diet jail. I am self conscious about how my body carries weight-right in the stomach. So For 20ish years I’ve dealt with well meaning strangers asking when I’m due. Yuck! Cuts me to the core. So far I can see this challenge helping to bring me out of my protective shell. My fun thing was coloring a picture for my daughter for a change. ?
I have been up and down in dieting and trying to find the right foods to eat for me. I have several health issues that are kind of helping me in that journey. It’s late here, so my fun thing to do will curl up and read a good book.
Just thought I would check in re: eating without distraction. This has been really difficult for me! I’ve had dinners out the last couple of nights, lunch at work in the staff room and for breakfast just then I ate standing up, leaning against the counter, talking to my husband before we went to work (totally forgot about the challenge and just did what I normally do!). I need to be more mindful about this part of the challenge.
up and down, and uppp and downnnnn, and uppp and down
fun: not at alllll sure; maybe it will be NOT canceling tomorrow’s lunchtime get-together in the community garden AS WELL AS attending the following day’s get-together in the community garden! would that “count”, I wonder? 😀
o.m.g
i dont know what do i want to do for fun
I don’t either! How sad is that? : (
I have a rollercoaster relationship with my body! I am trying to love it and some days I’m oozing confidence, then the next day hating it. My fun thing today will be to watch a Harry Potter movie 🙂
Wow! That was such a great video Sarah! Thank you for that. I am 43 years old, a mother of 4 children, online student, wife and administrative assistant for a university. I have really struggled with weight since I had to begin taking anti-depressants after the birth of my second son in 1997. The pounds just continued to appear. The fact that I was getting heavier and heavier was depressing in and of itself. It was then that I began searching for my “magic pill” or “magic bullet”. I also struggle with what I call an “all or nothing” personality. If I did not feel like going after weight loss with 150%, I simply could not muster the energy or motivation to begin it. I am all or nothing. I do not understand the concept of moderation. The word alone gives me anxiety. I am also a perfectionist and unless I feel like something I need to do will be done perfectly, I just don’t.I have always known that this is an issue and that there are underlying issues that need to be faced. I had a hysterectomy about 4 years ago. Immediately after my surgery, I lost 40 pounds without effort! It was then that I realized how much hormonal imbalance plays a role in energy and weight. However, I began to slowly pack the weight back on. I am currently 70 SEVENTY pounds overweight. I feel stuck in this ugly, flabby body. I am surprised often when I first look into the mirror at the person looking back at me. I hope this program helps me get real with myself. I don’t seek out fun because I no longer feel worthy of it.
Struggle has been being comfortable in my skin, before I had babies and now that I’ve had babies.
Fun thing is a lunch date with a friend for some much needed girl talk!
Hi all! My biggest issue with my body has always been my belly. Even when it was smaller, it still felt huge and always had a muffin top due to my shape. I have continued to gain weight since I had my last child, 9 years ago! For fun–I’m going to cook dinner and drink a glass of wine! I haven’t had time to cook lately due to schedules and I’m looking forward to it tonight since my son’s game starts later than normal. I look forward to doing this challenge with all of you!
I just hate the way I look and hate the fact that I took for granted how beautiful I was when I was younger. But I’m older, and I’ve changed and as well as being healthier, I want to feel better about who I am now.
I’m coming a little bit late to this, so I’m going to put my brightest lipstick on and take a picture. And it will be fun and I will look fierce.
I have struggled with my weight for my whole life. About 6 years ago I lost over 75 pounds. I felt so much better about myself and felt truly happy. I met my husband and thought this was my new beginning. But the inevitable stress of work, marriage etc crept in, I turned back to food for comfort and have gained back all 75 pounds and feel very depressed and can’t seem to shake it. I have always suffered from social anxiety but when I lost weight it started to improve but now it is worse than it has ever been. I struggle just to be around people. By the end of my work day I have had enough and need alone time to refresh. So rarely do anything for fun in the evenings or weekend as I need these times to recharge. This week I commit to inviting a friend out to lunch in Saturday and hopefully enjoying some belly laughs. I, also, commit to eating dinner each night with the TV off and all other distractions. Once I have mastered that I will work on taking a lunch away from my desk each day (this is a little more challenging given the demands of my work). I hope this will help me rediscover my joy in life, I want to be a happier and more relaxed and joyful person for my hubby…like I was when I met him.
