Your Freedom Point

JUST FOR TODAY:  Take a step toward your "Freedom Point" by letting go of weight worries or complacency.

You may find yourself shifting from one extreme to the other – one day you're seemingly in control your weight loss plan, and the next day you abandon your plan completely.  Your weight loss plan may be too rigid, forcing you to rebel against it.  Then you gain weight, forcing you to try yet another strict plan.  You are not alone in living at these extremes of apathy and obsession.  How can you break free of this frustrating cycle?  Trust your intuition to find your Freedom Point – where you can achieve a healthy weight and easily maintain it.  Use a rating scale from 0-10 to determine where you are today, where 0 is extreme apathy and 10 is extreme obsession, with 5 being your Freedom Point.  Next, ask yourself what you can do to move from a 0 to a 1, or a 7 to a 6?  What aspect of Intuitive Self-Care can help you get one step closer to your Freedom Point?  Give your Self this gift today!
