  First, being more loving and patient to my fiance. Second, to stop waiting and taking the time NOW to have fun and live my life.
• Cheryl

  The biggest change in my life since starting on this challenge is finally accepting my body as beautiful, and realizing all shapes and sizes are beautiful, that it is confidence that makes you sexy and attractive. Because I think wcery single woman in this group has amazing beauty.

  Number 1 is comparing. I had an eating disorder in high school-I’ve wanted to be a size 6 my whole life..that number is my magic I can love myself number..I struggle daily with not being enough because of a number on a scale. Today for fun I am going to have dinner with a friend and some of her friends(of whom I do not know) and I am going to dress up and be myself and not judge myself the whole time.

  Since starting the challenge the biggest change I’ve seen is decreasing negative talk. I can catch myself and turn the comment into a positive.
  I’ve also seen improvement in my relationships with co-workers. I’ve suggested doing activities outside of work and they are very receptive and that has helped us understand each other better at work. I always held back because I thought I had to wait on the weight!

  Hello,
  My biggest change so far is taking the time to eat. I start my day by having breakfast on my porch (no distractions), lunch I ensure I am not eating over my laptop or in my car while driving and dinner is no longer spent on the couch in front of the TV. I am eating less and enjoying what I am eating.

  Thank-you,
  Vanessa

  I cannot open the videos

  The best change I have made so far is just being nice to my spouse which is helping me take a closer look at his world.

  This is where I struggle, I’m sure of it. I have been at my job for 20 years now and I still don’t know with confidence that it is where I am meant to be. It’s OK. I like the people I work with. I have a sense of autonomy and purpose here, but I do not feel like it lights me up. Sick of whining and never doing anything about it, I started my own interior decorating business a couple years back. I absolutely love helping people transform their spaces and their furniture (I am also a furniture painter), but I find now that having a second 40-hour per week job is just taxing. I am trying HARD to balance being a great mother and a great wife while also being a good employee and successful business owner. It’s TIRING. lol I am learning by being more conscientious about food not to eat “comfort foods” in times of complete stress or exhaustion and I THANK you for that!! But there is so much more to this whole situation and I could definitely benefit from some outside insight.

  Hi Sarah I have really enjoyed this challenge. It has been harder than I thought but also more rewarding. The biggest change I have made has been unintentional. I have become someone who has conversations with strangers and seem to be attracting more people to me, even people I see every day I am having more open conversations. My dad is the person I admire most he the world. He is an amazing entrepreneur but also can talk to anyone. Everywhere he goes he has a laugh with someone. I never thought that I could do that but this challenge is changing my notion of who I can be. Who would have thought red lippy could be so powerful! Thank you.

  I realized I’ve been a little unhappy with my relationship, not a lot, but enough to know I needed to work on it, invest a little more. I made big changes in my life 3 years ago, except for my weight which I’ve gained since then but my relationship needed tending too. My guy is very supportive, and willing to help me in any way I need. We talked and both of us realized we needed to spend more time away from home. We just completed a renovation so our home is wonderful for us but we need to get out more. Which we are!!

  Relationship – I’m going to work on being more positive with my husband; will try to notice the good that he does rather than focus on noticing when I perceive that he’s failed in some way.

  Loving my body – I plan to spend more time in nature. Even when it’s nice out, I don’t always make the time to go outside, unless it’s to do yard work or shovel snow. I live near parks, beaches and convenient walking paths, but I rarely take advantage of them!
• Theresa

  I will wear the clothes that make me feel vibrant and pretty. I will not let the family schedule overtake my yoga classes. I will let the cleaning lady do her job and stop “tidying up” all the time.
• Natasha

  I am going to start by taking nightly baths and moisturing! I also want to paint my nails and walk daily. I think if I truely loved my body I would begin to take batter care of her!
• Diane

  As long as I can remember, I have put other’s needs before my own. I have now begun to take time for myself on a daily basis. This has brought more joy into my life. In turn, it has helped to make me a better person, a better mother, and a better friend.
• Serena

  The best change so far is thinking about things I can do to enjoy life more. At the end of May I finished 3 months of study (25 hours per week) and I work full time. I have two more of these 3 month study periods and by this time next year I will have finished my course! During the study periods I focus too much on study. Life, including relationships, mental and physical health, are not a priority, and therefore they suffer. LMWL is helping me to develop skills that I can use during the next two study periods to help me stay more balanced. Thanks heaps, Sarah!
• Nina

  Hi Sarah,

  Since I begun LMWL I started yoga classes and tarot. But that’s it, as I said before I’m always tired since 6 years now. I know that the most reason is that I’m stuck up in my life. I worked just to pay my bills. Now that I losted my job few months ago I have time think about it but alone it’s quite difficult to have distance about myself. Thursday I’m going to see a therapist who work with body energies and I hope that will helps me.
  I do meditation some time, I have crystals at home and as I said I begun tarot.
  When I had my own office I put some plants, bought a nice pellow for my chair, some cute stuff for my pens… I liked to fell well in my office.

  Today for fun I am going to take my dog for a walk with my two daughters 🙂 I have never really had a problem with my weight until recently. I don’t do a lot for myself, rather than getting out there & doing something I’d rather stay in & have something nice to eat. I’m not liking my body right now. My husband & I are working on our relationship, it’s taken a back seat. Our kids are becoming adults & there’s a sense of loss for me, not quite sure where I’m going?

  Great to be in the group.

  My biggest struggle with my body must say: I just look in the mirror and feel so disgusted with what I see, I have been struggling with losing weight after my 2nd child (she’s gonna be 3 this year). The “problem” is my husband loves this body, how come he can love it, and not me? I don’t feel sexy, even remember the last time I bought clothes (well, yes I do, maternity clothes).Just writing this, makes some tears appear. I don’t even use that much make up, cause I don’t find time to do it, always on the run, or places I go, does’t merit me to wear at least lipstick (for me).

  What I’ll do for fun, put a little of make-up, although I’ll be at home all day, haha
• Shannon

  I need to start doing more spa days so I am comfortable in my own skin. I would like to start dating, just don’t know how.
• Rosie

  I’m going to show up more in my relationship with my husband by taking more initiative to have date nights! We love each other but are both so tired I think this could be a great way to show I care about us, not just our kids.
  I’m going to take the time to put make up on and dress in a real outfit each day. (Just because I stay at home with the kids doesn’t mean abandon self care. As soon as I started doing that I felt worse about myself…)
• Jennifer

  Setting my goals for the summer! Tackling the clutter from all angles, home, work and my brain. So excited to feel free.
• Lauren

  I came to check back in after a few days of eating without distraction. It is hard! And I didn’t always remember but I’ve eaten almost all my meals this weekend without my phone or computer near by. Today my family went out to eat lunch together and I realized that I actually wasn’t hungry! I decided not to order anything (first time in my life) because I didn’t actually need it. Plus, I knew my mom wouldn’t be able to finish hers and I hate wasting food so I did have a few bites of hers. With practice, I really am becoming more aware of my body and what it actually needs. It helps to be more at peace in general though and this challenge is definitely helping!!

  When at my happiest, my weight has always leveled to a healthy point. I’ve realized over the last couple of years, that I too stopped living! It’s been a hard road to start loving again, thankful for someone who understands and has been there! Exited about the roadmap and the journey!!im going to start living my life today! Getting out of the house and living, meeting new people, doing new things!

  I am not really waiting for anything. My life is going well and I’m doing things I want to do. I have no romantic relationship at present and really not interested. I’m having too much fun. As far as my body, I will treat it better by putting the right type of foods in her.
• Barb

  I am not waiting on my weight anymore. I don’t weigh myself and I am pursuing some things I have put off.
  I am being less controlling and more complimentary to my husband.
  I will reconnect with my body by trying yoga.
• Joy

  I am going to stop procrastinating and clean up the clutter in my life. When I was actually working on my craft room, my hubby actually started working on his to do list instead of both of us blaming each other for the state of the house. I will show my body love by applying moisturizer.
• Anastasia

  I’m going to finally go get my hair done. I seriously dislike looking at myself in the mirror at a hair salon, so I only try to go when I’m feeling like I’m having a “good body” day. Let’s just say I haven’t felt like that for a while and I desperately need a hair style change! I’m also going to be kind to myself in the process and talk to my body the whole way through.
• Coco

  1. I don’t feel beautiful, sexy, loved or wanted inside my body..at all!im not overweight but everyone around me is 100lbs or less and I’m not. I know I’m not happy with my life at all.
  2.Im try a new makeup look and watch some YouTube videos
  3. Going to start moving more, besides running for the train to get to work.
• Tamara Tiner

  I have always had a love/hate relationship with my body. I am slowly coming around to learning what a beautiful thing it is. Now learning to love my body for being strong and taking me through everything from the smallest to the toughest tasks. I promise to keep loving her and challenging my brain to see her in a truthful light. My relationship is definitely under construction and your words spoke volumes. Thank you.
