Just for Today, Are You Open to Letting Your Struggles With Food and Weight Go?

I know it's a lot. And you've been carrying it around for so long.

It may feel impossible for you to imagine what it feels like and looks like to not be struggling with food, your body, your health. 

What if the meaning behind the struggle is the struggle? 

Could the narrative you have in your mind about who you are when you overeat, eat emotionally, and worry about your weight is what's wearing on you? 

Notice what you say to yourself when you overeat. Are you bad? Disgusting? Out of control? Crazy?

What if you let those ideas loosen their grip on you? 

Imagine you're holding these ideas of yourself in your fist. 

Feel the weight, the pressure. 

Now open your palm and let the energy of these ideas be. 

Do they want to stay in your palm? Are they willing to drop? To float? 

When you're not holding onto these words, ideas and meaning so tightly, how does your body feel?
