Congratulations!
If you’ve signed up for this course, it means you’re ready to start feeling good about your body. Let’s get you through and to where you want to be!
One important reminder: Be GENTLE with yourself. No matter how strong your goals and grit, you’re likely going to fall off the wagon. So you binged on beer and brownies with the girls on Saturday night. That’s okay. Get back on track on Sunday. (Some nutritionists even recommend a good binge now and then to prevent your hormones from going into starvation mode, which triggers the body to store fat.) You’re human, and changing old, unhealthy habits takes time and practice. The most important thing you can do over the next 30 days is find the ability to laugh, forgive yourself, and love your body no matter how it’s presenting on any given day.
Be proud of yourself for committing to a program like this – I’m proud of you! It takes courage to be your best self. No matter what happens over the next month, stay open to the lessons you’ll inevitably learn, and have FUN!
Thank you for allowing me to guide you on your journey. I am truly honored.
Warmly, Laurie
