To Be A Healthy Weight, Say YES To Your Self

JUST FOR TODAY: Be Self-ish and make your weight loss plan or eating disorder recovery a priority. Make time to do something extra to achieve your goal.

Most people who struggle with weight problems and eating disorders also struggle with boundaries. They give to others before themselves, and often at the expense of themselves. Does this sound like you? If so, it's time to be Self-ish, with a capital S. This is different than being selfish with a small s – which means giving to yourself at the expense of others. Being Self-ish means giving to your Self – feeding your soul – so that you can more effectively give to others. Imagine that you are like a well. If you give, and give, and give, then your well will run dry. But if you tap into a source that can fill your well, then you have plenty to give to others. By saying YES to your Self and making your weight loss plan or your recovery a priority, then you are taking one step closer to achieving a healthy weight. What is one extra thing that you can do for your Self today?
