1. I’m going to start being tidier around the house, and not changing directly into sweatpants when I get home from work.
2. I am going to start stretching every morning and every night to give my body the release it needs.
Stop waiting: I’m going for a walk any taking pictures of all the plants and flowers in bloom to help inspire me for my own yard.
My side of the street: my Romaric relationship is one area where I feel pretty good, actually. 😉
Action step: I’m going to buy a cute outfit that fits my body NOW.
I love to take pictures of flowers in my neighborhood for inspiration, too! Enjoy, Leslie!
Stop waiting for it to happen I’m going to make it happen and get out and do things I enjoy going for a walk in the forest being close to nature. Cleaning up my side of the street making time for girlfriends even if it on the home and making plans. An action step to give myself a spa night with bubbles and creams and nail polish. TLC of myself.
For me, I think I can join these two things in a way. My husband loves me and my body for me. He finds me sexy and attractive even when I don’t. I think he gets frustrated with me when I am down on myself. I love him despite his faults and in fact moreso sometimes because of them. They make him human and vulnerable and loveable. So I am going to commit to avoid the negative talk about my body and commit to loving myself the way I love him and he already loves me. First this will help to build my relationship with me by accepting me as I am and as I change and will improve things between us because I will be more accepting of his expressions of love and affection. I see this as the first step to accepting and being receptive to his compliments and affections, but also to being more accepting of my own self love. I am committing to telling myself each day one thing that I love about myself. Even if I don’t feel as beautiful as he sees me now, I hope to be able to see it soon.
I am also promising to myself, my husband and our family to be more present in life. Instead of coming home and hiding behind a screen (phone, tablet, TV) I have made a promise to myself to get out and start taking part in what life has to offer. I’ve already planned things to get out and do for the next three weekends and shared them with my husband and children so that we can keep each other accountable to them.
Accepting who you are is a beautiful step towards building a loving relationship with yourself and others. I love your commitment to tell yourself one loving thing each day. Keep me posted on how this all goes for you.
This is great!
Once again, I absolutely loved this video!
A way that I am going to show up in my relationship more is by taking care of myself before my boyfriend gets home! The example you shared in the video hits very close to home. I am going to take a warm shower, put on some cozy clothes,do a meditation, and be in a relaxed place when my boyfriend gets home!
The action I’m going to take to create a better relationship with my body is to buy some truly luxurious lotion to put on after showers, and to book a massage!
All of these actions sound wonderful. It is so key to have our own self-care so we can truly be present for others in our life. Enjoy that massage!
When you talked about that negative person sitting next to you and saying how fat, stupid, etc. you are I almost had a panic attack. That was my Mom from a very early age with me up into my 50s. I know this has affected my relationship with my husband. I am not sure how to tell that little girl inside me that she is wonderful and okay. To show my body that I love it I will put lotion on it every day (I do live in a very dry climate). To repair or make my relationship better with my husband I will be more affection with him (holding hands, hugs).
Hi Janet- your body will enjoy the attention and love. I invite you to also just close your eyes and see that little girl and imagine yourself holding her, hugging her, and then tell her she is loved. Let me know if you try this and any takeaways. xo
My man does so much for us. He asked me to move in with him and told me he wanted to build me the house of my dreams ❤️ Well he did and our home is 4 stories at roughly 3,000sqft not including our yard ? That’s a whole lotta house to keep clean and the man is extremely tidy. Not “Sleeping with the Enemy” tidy but tidy. I will “show up in our relationship more” by being just that much more on top of the constant dusting/sweeping/wipe down, and my dressing room that is always out of control. Clearing the chaos and clutter from my vanity and organizing accessories will help me rebuild that connection to my body. When I’m in that zone I feel ultra feminine and together. When everything in my dressing room has its place, getting ready makes me feel like a Disney Princess and I have little birds and squirrels helping me get dressed. LOL
Hi Naomi- This is such a great image- I can see the happy little woodland animals singing with you! It’s definitely true that when we clear our physical space around us, our internal space also starts to get revitalized and you can connect. Just keep in mind- you don’t have to do everything at once. Hugs to you.
❤️ Thank you Sarah! I’ll remember, one step at a time and even one day at a time to help from feeling overwhelmed. What a wonderful gift you are to the world, you are greatly appreciated! I’ve pointed a few friends in your direction whom I believe will benefit. I hope you have a fabulous day ?
I’m so excited about the new path my life is on! I started walking 2 days a week with a neighbor and since I’ve enrolled my son in swim classes I’ve decided to go into the gym while he’s in class and workout for me! I know I’m a bossy person especially in my home since I’ve been running it by myself and raising my son by myself. I know I need to come home and take the time to relax and spend a few quality moments with my son before we start our nighttime routines. I made a goal list a couple years ago and as I update it and reevaluate it I always have on there to have monthly massages! As of this past January I joined a massage parlor and I go at least once a month and because of all my referrals I’ve received 3-4 FREE massages!!!! I love myself very much but there are daily things that I need to continue to do to keep on loving me. The bath last night helped!
I’ve been struggling with self worth since my divorce. I plan on cleaning up the street by being open to components and allowing myself to feel happy with who I am and how others see me. I’m going to stop beating myself up with the same verbal abuse that my ex used to sling at me everyday. Thank you so much for this challenge! I have my first date tomorrow!
I am going to show up more in my romantic relationships with men by being more vocal about the things that I want and trusting my intuition when I meet someone new.
I am going to stop blaming my body for stopping me from achieving my goals. I will not allow myself to say that I did not get a role, a callback, a boyfriend because of my body because it is not her fault. I will listen to my body when she’s tired and won’t force her to do things that she does not have the energy to do. I will listen to my body when she wants things and I will do my best to give her what she wants.
Action steps I’ll take… Put my tight workout psnts on and new shirt I haven’t worn yet bc I was always afraid it would show my unflattering”rolls”, and where it to the gym and own it. And I will spend time with my gfs tonight and try on dresses and allow myself to feel beautiful…
As for my weight, I’m realizing that it’s just a number, and I think I look pretty damn good at this point in my life! Lol. And I currently am not in a relationship, but I’m sure my new-found confidence will bring all the boys to the yard… ?
Waiting on the weight: I was waiting on the 20 pounds I was going to lose between new years and now to get any nice, flattering, comfortable clothes for work and summer. Maybe I can get some clothes that fit NOW…instead of waiting on that 20-30 pounds that never happens.
Showing up in my relationship – I’m going to open myself to idea that I CAN meet someone who will meet my needs, and that I could be perfect for that person. I’ve been closed and clinging to the idea that nothing could ever work out, and that I’m too busy anyway.
Reconnecting with my body – thing is ….I have times when I feel comfortable and connected, I d love physical activity, and have done a lot to take care of my body self (but often with a background of “you’re wrong, and need to be fixed”)…and THEN come the times when I want to eat an entire package of Newman-Os, with 3 giant glasses of organic milk, because hey, at least it’s organic;). I feel stuffed and gross after, but somehow calmed. When you said that being stuffed for you was like an “internal hug” I burst into tears at my desk. YES.That’s exactly what it is. I’m not sure how to get a handle on this…but at least I have the awareness that I’m looking for reassurance and connection when I binge.And maybe just love, and affection. Holy smokes. I’m looking for that “it will be ok” feeling. I guess next I will pay attention to find the triggers. AND – I am going to take a nice bath tonight and tell my body I love her. THANKS
Since I’m single, I’m going to think about taking care of myself so that when I’m in my next relationship I’ll be confident in me. And my action step is exfoliating today and getting back into washing my face at night.
Number One struggle has been food addiction and body image obsession. That meant no bathing suits,no sex with the lights on,no fun summer clothes, no freedom or self love. Years of playing the comparison game, if only-s, Monday morning re-starts only to be back in the food at noon, the delusion that my life would start when I was thinner, living to read before&after weight loss stories, and the fantasy world that was was safer than risking getting out of my comfort zone. Food hell and self hate.a life not lived. That’s food addiction. Thankfully I have found a way out and want to explore life without this false identity. Authenticity, fun,freedom, self love and helping others. For fun I want take voice lessons!and need to eat without distraction– no tv or eating in car. Thanks for reading this!
Great input again Sarah, as always!
Last year after complete the 2 week challenge, I started making myself a priority. So, I am no longer “waiting”. I got off the couch and bought a gym. And have totally over hauled my relationship with food. This video was a reminder to keep going! So, I’m recommitting to my vegan lifestyle and focusing on fuel vs. food.
My lane of my marriage had been on the back burner while I focus on myself (and husband, himself), we both have needed a step back in recent months. I will continue to be supportive in his self exploration.
My action step to better embrace my body “as is”….I’m chucking the scale out the door! Who cares how much I’ve lost as long as I feel good doing it!
Thank you Sarah for the videos! Right now I feel like I”m losing a losing battle I’m an emotional eater I lost my big brother and then our dog last year and husband was out of work I felt alot of stress and dealing with it was eating stuffing things down but still working out going to the gym. I just feel out of wack if you know what I mean I need to get back to me. Right now my husband and our new puppy go on the road he’s a long haul driver I go to work and just come home have a very boring life I need to get back the fun and enjoyment. I feel stuck and need some TLC and get back on track. So this well help me for sure. Thank you again!
I’m going to take the weekend to myself with some girlfriends and walk and talk and try not to obsess about calories or comparison…. Then I’m going to start to clean up my street by really taking the time to think about how I’m showing up for my husband and I’m going to plan a date….
I definitely have spent a lot of time waiting on the weight and I feel like there are a lot of activities that I would do if I felt more comfortable in my skin. So one thing I plan to do is go to an event near me that is a large outdoor exercise event that I know I will enjoy doing. I have never been in a relationship in part because I feel too fat to attract men, so I’m trying to connect with my body and I think I made a big change when, for our “take a bath” challenge yesterday I did a Float session (since I don’t have access to a bath at home) and I went is knowing I wanted to focus on accepting my body and my diabetes and I found that my body wasn’t at fault for having my disease and that what is just what is. It was illuminating and I feel more connected already to my body.
I love what you said about showing up and coming home. I definitely had never thought of focusing on just being myself in whatever iteration that is at the time when I go out and am doing things. Its a great affirmation that what I am is already enough, which is something I always struggle with. So finally I’m going to really focus on taking care of my body better and checking in more with what we need together.
1. Number one struggle with my body is that I am a yo-yodieter and am never able to stay thinner once I get thin. And as an actress, being thin is always on my mind.
2. I am going to go out dancing with my best friend tonight!
Ian going to tell my husband how much he means to me and everything he does in and outside of the home and I am going to buy some bubble bath and body cream and use it tonight. I am putting our youngest to bed early and pouring us a drink. It’s Friday after all x
I’m in a cohabitating relationship with my boyfriend of 2.5 years and I feel us drifting farther and farther apart everyday and I KNOW its because I’m unhappy with my self, the way I look, the way I feel. I want him to just leave me alone and let me figure it out, but in the end I’m just going to lose him. I’m sabotaging and I know it. I just don’t know how to stop it.
So I’ve suggested bowling tonight for a date night, but he says “we’ll just be there for a little bit and then you’ll be tired and want to go home”. I’ll definitely make an effort to show more energy even if I am exhausted. and I’ve already taken steps to change the relationship with my body. I push mowed my lawn yesterday in clothes I’m not comfortable in, but I did it and no one looked at me like I was gross.
My relationship..hmm!.. most of the time I feel I’m not in a relationship. I have a bit fault in it because I’m more masculine side. I got divorced almost 18 years ago and was single for 15 years, so I was the man and the woman of the house with 4 children. I had very little time to be feminine. The person that I’m with now is a good provider and very responsible, however it seems that he can’t multitask with responsibilities and romance, cuddling or just being there emotionally.
What ever I try to do I will do it for me and maybe a little for him too. My actions that I will take and already started taking for a few months now to built a good relationship with my body are taking more time in the shower. I don’t have a tub, but what I do is take a pot of very hot water, place a few drops of one of my favorite oils and place it in the bathroom, your bathroom will smell nicely. Then I use a nice shower gel and a loofah and just caress my whole body with it. Make story short, I lather some organic coconut oil on my body, wear something nice, I know wear sexy underwear, bras and sets, spray my body with a beautiful scent, do my makeup and do my hair nicely. I’ve started loving my body mid February and started to take care of it. Oh! don’t forget..RED lipstick. Peace
Hello Sarah!
Just wanted to check back from the first video and thank you again for your video! I am still working on the mindful eating but I definitely have loved putting fun back into my life! I’ve been trying to purposefully do something fun every day and my addiction to food has been slowly transforming :). Even last night I had a rough night feeling very lonely so I got in my car and drove to Dairy Queen to get a bit ol hot fudge sundae and when the lady asked for my order I realized I wasn’t hungry and just drove right through!!!! Hallelujah! I decided instead to SIT in my feelings because they can’t kill me… And I woke up refreshed, excited for the morning, and not with a guilty food hangover!!! Win!!!!
Hi Sarah,
I am so enjoying this challenge.
1. I am going tell my husband how much I appreciate how much he does. And arrange for a date night.
2. I am going to hide the scales. Now.
It is so great to have a nudge in the right direction and be reminded of how important our health and bodies.
❤️❤️❤️
You go girl!
1.I will stop waiting on the weight by actually planning things that I want to do…join a walking group.
2. I will clean up my side of the street by greeting my spouse warmly when he gets home from work.
3. I will nurture my body by having a foot spa after walking and moisturize them.
I am going to look for ways to show my husband how much he is loved and respected. Thinking about planning something special for Father’s Day for him.
I am going to try to walk daily. I love to walk, and honestly have usually found much more tortuous forms of exercise that I end up hating and giving up. I love walking and yoga and feel like I can stick with them.
I am going to tell my partner I love him right now
I am going to take the time to moisturise my body tonight following a bath. Something I never do xx
Day 5 – I have a wonderful husband who loves talking about his day and what he has been up to. I must admit I don’t always absorb what he is saying as I am thinking about all the other things I need to do. He is currently away in a business trip but he comes home next week I am going to start paying attention over dinner 100%.
I am currently in training for the Oxfam Trail Walk next week but after is all over I am going to start paying my feet some attention by moisturising them every day.
I have always wanted to take a kickboxing class and signed up today for a Saturday morning class. I cannot wait! I will nurture my body by putting my favorite moisturizer on it from the neck to my toes and tell every part of her that she is gorgeous and deserves my love and respect.
Stop waiting on the weight. What a great message!! I’m single and have put off trying to date because I am so upset with my body, but I know I’m a great person and very deserving of love. I’m going to stop saying no to things that I think I will be uncomfortable at because of my weight, but I really want to do and worry less about what I look like, and concentrate more on what I’m experiencing. Thanks, Sarah!
