Thank you! that’s exactly what I’ve been doing~ “Waiting on the Weight” to disappear and really beating myself down.
I’m taking your advise!! Stop waiting on the weight and rebuild the relationship w/my body. I’m going to light a candle, sit and meditate, apologize sincerely and ask what my body needs.
The TLC starts now!!!
Thank you!! (hugs)
I probably have all the wrong answers but I will be as honest as I can. I hate myself because of my body. I’m a smart intelligent successful woman and everytime I look in the mirror I see the one thing I was never successful in changing. I am utterly disgusted by it.
Number two as you were talking about making sure you like the food you’re eating, I was eating scrambled eggs. I hate scrambled eggs. I ate them because they’re full of protein and all the guidebooks say you should but I absolutely hate them and I don’t think I’m ever going to eat them again.
Number 3. You say to go do something for fun. Here’s the part of the video that made me cry. I have no earthly idea what would be fun. Honestly. I can’t remember the last time I had fun and I don’t know what I would consider fun. All my life I’ve only been everyone’s caregiver and a hard worker. I have laughingly referred to myself as a drone bee, but that is actually very true. So the only thing that I can think to do is to get in my car and just go for a drive.
1. My #1 struggle with my body is I constantly feel disgusted with my middle area
2. Today for fun I will go to an open air market
Hi Sarah, I really enjoyed your videos and believe in your message 100%!! I have just finished reading The Gabriel Method and am making some lifestyle changes including using Jon’s visualisation techniques and adding real food into my dyiet. I am an art student completing my Master’s in painting. I have been somewhat a perpetual student, studying off an on, and working low paying jobs and always getting frustrated because what I really want to do is make a living with my art… I just never thought I was good enough and didnt know how to make it happen!! I am 37 years old and am starting to plan the next steps in my journey…including dropping at least 20kg. I want to use my art to connect with women in particular, and celebrate our sacredness and feminine power. I want to be able to connect with women of all ages, young and old and spread the same sort of message that you are talking about. I am particularly concerned with womens rights in developing countries and want to celebrate diversity of all kinds! I look forward from hearing from you and any advice you might have to share or encouragement!!
I have struggled with my weight for all of my 38years. I have a 91/2 year old daughter and have put off having other children until I was ‘skinnier’. my number one struggle with my body has been not being comfortable in my skin. I am always worried that my tops aren’t covering my belly or that I can’t dress how I want. I feel older than I am! ONe thing I will do for fun is catch up with a girlfriend.
I have been struggling with my weight since I turned 40, 17 years ago. After my 4th child I was unable to get my body back. A couple of Kilos a year does seem to bad but it adds up over 17 yrs. Hormonal changes are hard to deal with and cutting back for a couple of days doesn’t work for me anymore.I am more disappointed with my body and the way I look than I can put into word. Its like looking at someone else. Looking forward to thinking differently about myself.
Going away with friends for the weekend and going to enjoy myself despite how i think I look.
1)I’m 50yrs old, going thru “The Change” and my body is literally freaking out!
I’ve gained 50 lbs,(from a size 7/8 to 12/14 in 1 yr.) my hair is thinning, having bone loss in my jaw bone(beneath the gum line), my arches in my feet collapsed(one at a time), and having tremendous Nite Sweats.
I Hate my body right now!, I’ve always been healthy and rather fit. Now I’m fat and literally deteriorating from the inside out. I use to be rather good looking woman, within 5yrs. I’ve melted like wax leaving me look’in like some freak of nature.
I’m trying to accept this time in life, but it just doesn’t stop freakin out! I’m literally going thru a double whammy syndrome. (meaning one falling arch, then the other; one scritic nerve in my bum, then the other side.)
I’m trying to love myself and accept this Horrific Hormonal fluctuation, but having a very difficult time with this loving my body right now.
Maybe you can help give me some suggestions, thanks for being real!
2)I went to the gym for 50plus people and did a zumba class. I’m thinking about going to the duck pond and chilling. Maybe I’ll bring lunch and enjoy the scenery.
Watching this video, all I could think was “where are the cameras?”Clearly this woman has been watching me for the last 10 years of my life. Never have I related so much to one person or topic. I’m relieved to have found this site but also a little unnerved to hear these things being spoken to me instead of just in my head.Before I could just drown out that tiny voice with the crunching sound of my cheesy popcorn, but now it’s a real person talking and I can’t ignore the words.
So here you go. Current relationship with body – Meh. At a low point of my usual diet roller coaster. Feeling less stressed when I’m not watching what I eat but experience way more guilt and self-destruction. My journey has been yours – 100%! Only I hid in my car with a bag of donuts.
Fun – Honestly, diving more into this topic and addressing some issues I have been suppressing. Also took some photos tonight with my “good camera” which I used to do all of the time. When I looked at the last image taken it was a picture of my son’s cake from his 1st birthday. He’ll be 2 in September. Yikes.
All time weight high and not sure what to do- disappointed in myself and don’t feel healthy or strong. Menopause is kicking my butt and this weight gain has aged me in many ways. Never really had issues for the first 50 years of my life (+/-10 pounds) – and now at age 55 it is hard to change my habits and mindset. Not a snacker – but a big lunch/dinner eater. What am I doing for fun today – having lunch out with girlfriends – hah! Tip gained – enjoy my food and use this as a roadmap to not overeat.
I’m frustrated with my body- I’ve gained back 40 lbs I worked so hard to lose 5 yrs ago. I’m tired of being so disappointed with myself. I’m in the waiting mindset- when I lose some weight I’ll start…. Today for fun I’m going to take a walk with my dog.
Sarah your video made a lot of sense to me- thank you❤️
I am so excited to start this journey! I do not have a good relationship with my body right now, I look in the mirror most days and think I look disgusting. The funny thing is, it’s not usually when I’m naked, I start to feel really fat and bloated once I put my clothes on. I absolutely HATE shopping for clothes. My struggle with my body started when I was about 16. I was diagnosed with severe social anxiety, which developed into generalized anxiety disorder with depression. This is a struggle in my everyday life. I started gaining weight when I began taking medication to control my anxiety. I was so sick to my stomach before I started getting treatment that I wouldn’t eat, when my treatment started kicking in I started to feel better mentally and physically so I started to eat EVERYTHING because my stomach didn’t hurt as much anymore. I gained weight very quickly after that and from then on it’s always been “I’ll start my diet tomorrow” or “My whole life will be great if I can just lose 40 pounds”. I never have been able to follow through with a diet for more than a week (usually I only get through about a 1/2 day). If I have a stressful day at work I tell myself “I deserve this piece of cake” but from there it doesn’t stop with the piece of cake. Luckily I have a wonderful husband who has always loved me no matter how much I’ve weighed, and he always tells me “I wish you could see yourself the way I see you”. I need to learn to love myself now, and find things that I love doing other than eating!
Oh, right! The fun thing I’m doing today is going to a 4th of July party with my husband and some of our great friends. 😀
I think being fat as a child and be call fat by my parent (as a joke nothing mean or ugly) has put in my mind that fat is just part of who i am. Now in my 40s i truly do not like my body.
For fun…….hmmmm… its the 4th of july.. maybe some fireworks for fun!
I have always struggled with loving my body. Even though most people look at me and think that I should not have these feelings, I always feel like I don’t look good enough. My husband is extremely supportive and always telling me how beautiful I look, but for some reason, I don’t see myself like that. I want a good relationship with my body for my kids’ sake just as much as mine!
For fun today, I am going to go for a family walk in the park and spend time with my family!
my biggest struggle is been overweight and not been able to shift the weight
not sure waht i could do for fun today maybe singing as i used to like doing this as a child
my biggest struggle has been with accepting my belly.
i’m going to swim in the ocean.
to show up more in my relationships and dating i am going to try to focus on how i feel when Im with a guy on a date instead of focusing on weather or not he likes and accepts me. I think I am putting “getting in a relationship” overpower my own judgement a feelings.
To build a relationship with my body i am going to start getting regular massages!

my biggest struggle with my body has been being called a fat girl since early childhood and somehow accepting it as part of my identity. I have lost and gained the same 40 pounds 5 times and always feel so much shame that I regain and can’t maintain my weight loss. I am so tired of the cycle I have all worked but given up. I am at my biggest weight ever and afraid to even try again because It will so shameful to loose and gain one more time. I feel so self-conscious about my weight because everyone else can watch my struggle, there is no way to hide it.
today for fun ai am going to watch outlander because I like the historical aspect and the accents!

I am going to think before I speak to my husband as I can say mean things to him & he tries so hard. We are both busy people & we get so tired & it’s hard so times. I am going to go for more walks, give myself the time & enjoy the fresh air.
work in health care. enjoy interaction with people. don’t enjoy the bureaucracy.
1. I am struggling accepting my body today, in this very moment. 2. Today I will be doing a 1 hr float session in a deprivation tank. 3. I will try and make a conscious effort to eat without distraction.
I have long been wanting to make changes in my life, but seem to have an underlying belief that I won’t be successful, so why start. but I have hit bottom. I am tired of being tired, running late, forgetting things, struggling to get work tasks done, messy house, craving sugar, being short with my kids. this is not how I want my life to be. so change has to start now. tending to romantic relationships -initiated sex with my husband tonight and he just about passed out in shock – especially on a week night! action step for positive relationship with body. mantra my body has taken good care of me, now it’s my turn to take good care of it.
There’s a huge part of me that is full of restriction and trying to be perfect. I’m slowly starting to feel a release and freedom inside. I’m stepping out of the false power I allowed to control me.
I will show up by making him fresh juice and keeping the kitchen clean. That’s like hugs and kisses to him. I showed love to myself yesterday by buying a new “hot”dress. I’m going to strut it Sunday at church. He hasn’t seen me in a dress and heels in a couple of years. I’m going to shock him.
Number one struggle:always unhappy with my body being overweight, very critical and hard on myself. Fun: go on a hike
I am 24 years old and can’t remember a day where I haven’t been dieting or hating nobody for the past 11/12 years and it’s EXHAUSTING! These videos are amazing and have really inspired me to take care of my physical and mental well-being because being miserable was ruining all aspects of my life. So this morning I took the time to do my make up before work (something I never bother with) and tonight my boyfriend and I are going to hit the beach and make full use of the rare English sun!
I love this video series !!! I’m learning so much about where I’m holding myself back and about thoughts that have crossed my mind but I had ignored them. There are so many ways that I’ve been hiding in my life and in my business. For the past 3 years, I’ve been wavering on what my purpose is and how I can really help women. I’m also an IIN grad but I feel almost trapped by my title. I feel like I need to somehow share my stories of my life experiences and how against all odds, I keep going. I have struggled and continue to struggle with my body, weight and holding myself back. These videos have opened my mind and given me courage to share my message. Thank you !!
I am going to go to bed with a smile on my face and be thankful for the life I have. In my relationship I have right now, I’m going to focus on all the good points that I like about my boyfriend instead of the one negative thing of him drinking so much. I’m going to start eating a lot healthier than what I have been and do a lot of self-talk.
1/ my relationship with my body has always been a struggle… I even had weight loss surgery in 2009, only to find that it did more harm then good for my body. Only recently have I been learning to love my body, from the inside out.
2/ for fun I have been painting, reading good fiction, and spending quality time with my husband and tending to our marriage (learning to savor this time where it is just us before hopefully being blessed with children)
3/ I have been eating without distractions for lunch and dinner – and find its the greatest time to connect with my husband and share our day. I need get up earlier that I already do (I rise at 5am and go to work early- taking breakfast to go, which half the time I don’t finish because I am busy) and make it a point to set aside 15 minutes for breakfast. I think it will have a great impact!
First off, I hate my body. I was in a terrible car accident back in March, Easter weekend to be exact, and it has left me with a terribly huge scar on my forehead, another on my right shoulder from having a plate and nine screws put in from a broken collar bone and now doctors have discovered that I have a a fully thickened rotator cuff tear in my left arm. I am so depressed and eat nothing but junk and lie around all day. 🙁 What will I do for fun today? I already did it, I went to the store with my neighbor friend. 🙂
My body struggles have felt like a war with 10-15 pounds for too many years. It’s been a war in my head to not eat this, and don’t eat that, and now that I did eat it I have to work out harder plus give up that food for good. Now I’m thinking “why?”. If I’m in a war then there is constant stress, and if there is stress, then I’m not enjoying life. That’s terrible. I want happiness right now!
My fun thing that I will do today is look into salsa lessons in my area. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.
This first video has left me with a feeling of freedom I haven’t felt in a long time. I think giving up my control issues with let me live my happiest life.
Thank you!
