Out Your Girly Thoughts…Embrace Your Strength workbook (coming April 2014 from HCI Books)
You’re almost one month into the New Year. Time to tweak your New Year’s Resolutions, and get real. If you’re like so many other women your number one new behavior for the New Year is losing weight. So, time to ask yourself — how’s it going?
If your answer is – not so well—if you’re already feeling like giving up, if you’re now again angry at your body, then it’s time to re-think how you are trying to accomplished your goal.
Consider this –instead of concentrating on the newest diet craze, think about an alternate approach—rather focusing on losing weight, how about directing your energy to what increases your stress and causes you to want to eat yourself into oblivion? How about losing your girly thoughts?
