You inspire me, too, Midge!

I heard a holy person say "love yourself fiercely and determinedly".

The fierceness is about facing our shadow that wants to eat us, destroy us consume us.

I, too, am a compulsive overeater (CO) and for me it has to do with honoring my inner truth .... and taking the time to frequently check in with myself about "am I living the life I truly want to live?" I've noticed that the urge to binge on junk food is usually accompanied by a sense that I have to do something I don't want to do, tackle some kind of big chore, face something unpleasant in my life, put up with someone else's foolishness, deal with someone else's crapola. Codependence stuff. I made myself unimportant. So when I check in with myself, asking "forget the other people, what do I want to do right now, what is good for me?" then I get some clarity and relief and the CO urges wane.

We stand, face and conquer and refuse to BE anything but pure light in the way we treat ourselves.

The determination is that we are willing to go the distance, WIT---Whatever It Takes---to bring ourselves into the potential of excellent health, beauty and fitness we know we can achieve.

I'm with ya, baby!
