Dear <<First Name>>!
 
It’s funny, in all of the years I struggled with weight and dieting, I never called myself ‘fat’ – even when I was at my heaviest.
 
I always used the word “chubby.” 
 
I recently realized that “chubby” was the term my dad used when he would comment on my body and weight. 
 
I internalized this message and started to think that there was something wrong with my body and the size of it.  “Chubby” wasn’t “good” so my body wasn’t “right” which meant I needed to do something about it in order to make it “right.”
 
It eventually led to my first diet at the age of 13.  Which led to my first bout overeating and bingeing.
 
And then my body didn’t seem to do what I thought it “should” –  Oh I lost some weight but I didn’t seem to become what I now thought it should be. 
 
I started to hate it and this began a war between my mind and my perception of my body, and what my body really was.
 
Why wouldn’t it just do what I thought it “should?”
 
How come I didn’t look like “everyone else?”
 
When I look back at pictures of myself now I realize, my body was PERFECT for me. 
 
I wasn’t rail-thin like most of my peers, but I was at a normal weight for my height and I was strong and fit – which is natural since I was a very active athlete.
 
But because of external messages, I thought something was wrong with my body and so I began to see it not for the perfect body for me but as something that wasn’t the way it was “supposed” to be.
 
This led to a life-long obsession with dieting and food.
 
But what’s most interesting is – it’s not FOOD I was at war with, it was the perception of my body.
 
No matter how many pounds I lost or how many diets I tried, I was never thin “enough”.
 
And because I was never at peace with my body, I always felt I needed to be doing something to change it. 
 
Since food was the way I thought I could change my body (if I just eat less!), I could never stop the obsession with food and compulsion to overeat. 
 
Dieting doesn’t work – it only increases our desire to overeat (more on that in the next email!).
 
It wasn’t until I truly started to accept my body for what it was RIGHT NOW – not when I lost X number of pounds – but RIGHT NOW, did things start to change. 
 
You can’t hate yourself thin. 
 
I know a lot of you are now thinking,.. “but if I don’t like my body how it is and I stop dieting I am probably going to blow up even more!  I can’t accept my body how it is now.  Let me get to my goal weight and THEN I can begin on the acceptance piece.” 
 
Uh – no.  It doesn’t work that way.
 
No matter how much you may manipulate your food or your behavior around food, and no matter how much weight you may lose, you are not going to wake up one day at some “perfect” weight and suddenly love yourself.
 
That just ain’t gonna happen.
 
It’s the perception and non-acceptance of your body AS IT IS, that led to all of this dieting and food obsession, so in order stop the madness, it begins with learning to accept your body for where it is RIGHT NOW.
 
Believe me – I get it.  That’s a tough one. 
 
But if you EVER want to stop your war with food, you MUST stop the war with your body first.
 
When I began to accept my body for where it was, I stopped manipulating my food because I was no longer trying to change my body. 
 
This stopped the obsession with food and the dieting cycle.
 
Which, over time, led me to stop bingeing because I was no longer depriving myself with crazy diets anymore. 
 
This, inevitably led my body to release the extra weight it was carrying.
 
When we change our perception, we change our world. 
 
When we rewire how we think about our body, we rewire our behavior around food.
 
Are you ready to stop dieting for good? 
 
Are you ready to stop the war with your body?
 
Are you ready to feel joy and powerful in your own skin?

Do you want to learn how I not only began to accept my body and stop the war with food?

Do you want to learn how to have food freedom and take back your life?

They called me chubby and I owned that and it drove years of food obsession.
 
I took back my life and my body and you can too.
 
I can’t wait to meet you and see the light come back on. 
 
We are in this together.
 
Check out my video.  You won’t regret it.
 
In Health and Joy!
