It’s ok to want to lose weight while loving your body now

Many women in the movement of loving your body now may feel guilt or as if it is wrong to want to lose weight.  They may feel like they are defying the movement because they want to be thinner or fitter, but you are not.  You are made to be healthy and look after your body so on this journey of body love and winning the war on weight, body image and fitness, make sure you go deep inside and ask yourself what you truly want.  There is no need to feel any guilt or shame over wanting to lose weight.  Don’t think that because you want to lose weight that there is something wrong with you and you aren’t loving your body because eating well and exercising are a reflection of loving your body now.  This doesn’t mean you have to be super thin if you don’t want to.  What it means is that you must start to look at your health and body love while focusing on that over hating your body into the results you want.  These insights will assist you to be ok with wanting to lose weight while still loving your body now:

  1. Loving your body includes healthy habits.

    Your body is your temple and the thing that will keep you going and holds you up for your entire life. It needs to be nurtured and filled with lots of living foods and macronutrients to be able to function optimally.  Now, you can feel amazing at any size and life is too short to be unhappy no matter what you look like.  I know that people try to make you associate pain with weight but be joyful anyway while leveraging yourself with the knowing that loving your body now and into the way you want it to be is the key to success while including healthy habits.  Do not feel the pressure to lose weight, but by all means make the changes you want to so you can feel even more vital and live for a very long time.

  2. Know that you love your body while taking actions toward what you want.

    I know some people would say that if you truly just loved your body you wouldn’t care about exercise and you wouldn’t care what you ate. That’s not what Battle Babes is about, we are about loving your body now and not morphing yourself into someone you can’t possibly be but transforming your body in a way that has you feel happy and joyful additionally for the vitality you experience. Take actions toward this on a daily basis and know that being super thin is not the aim of the game, it is loving your body through the food you eat, exercise you partake in, what you say to yourself and taking action toward ultimate health.

 

  1. You can love your body now and declare you want to lose weight.

    If you don’t feel healthy the way you are then you must do something about it. Of course, many people will say that because you are into loving your body you should be be or stay the weight you are sometimes out of proving a point, while knowing that your health may depend on you taking some actions now. Declaring you want to lose weight is a declaration of the love for your body.  The thing is about this is not the weight loss, it’s how you do it and what you think about yourself regarding doing it.  Do you do it for the right reasons or are you hating your body into submission and weight loss?  It is so powerful to declare your goals out loud and to share with those who support you that you want to make some healthy changes in your life.

If he doesn’t want you when you are down, he doesn’t get you when you are up

 

Too many women place their worth and value on what men think of their bodies.  Many men are amazing and love you when you are down or when you are up in life.  What I am talking about here is the ones who aren’t into you no matter what your shape or size.  I am talking about the ones who are about looks and reject you for your body.  I know that you are health oriented and in being a Battle Babe, you can’t not be as we love our bodies and are healthy also.  This doesn’t necessarily look like being bigger or smaller, it looks like you doing what is good for your body and wellbeing. So as you are on this journey, you may find that when your body isn’t at its best you might attract men who are not about body diversity and who are about looks.  As you become healthier your looks change.  Now don’t think here I am saying that you aren’t prefect the way you are because you are.  What I am saying is that don’t transform your body to catch the man and if he isn’t into your body at all phases of life, then don’t go for him because he simply most likely won’t stick around if you don’t look the way he wants you to look.  These insights are designed to assist you to be able to be strong in body, soul and mind and find the one for you who is about who you truly are:

  1. Rejection leads to the acceptance of the right one.

    If you are rejected for the way you look, make sure you don’t waste your time crying over it because the right man won’t look at your body. He will look at your true beauty and inner glow leading you to know that when you have children, age or if you go through trauma that he will stand by you no matter what.  If you have some weight on your body and you have goals to lose it, don’t hinge catching your future husband on getting the results because if he doesn’t want you when you are looking a way that he may not accept, then he won’t accept you most likely as you age and go through hormonal changes.  He won’t be there for you in the deepest soul way, he will often be there for physical aspects and that is not what you want.  As you may be rejected by one man, another will come along and don’t put off your relationship success just for your body shape or size.  The right one wants you for you.

  2. Be strong and say goodbye to shallow men.

    I run the risk of seeming like I am against men but that is not true at all, I appreciate them and that they are all on their own journey. Also, many women are just like some men and go for looks over soul mate connection. That is a path of divorce and misery so don’t subject yourself to it and make sure you hold out for the right one for you who is about loving you at all stages and phases of life.  If he can’t handle the hard times and won’t stick by you during the tough times if you have them, then he isn’t the right one for you.  Saying goodbye to the shallow men will set your free and don’t be the problem and be shallow yourself.  Know that you are able to rise from the ashes at any time, you are able to lose weight and shape up with the right strategies and you can and will be able to find true love by letting go of the epidemic that plagues women – looks being what matters most.

  3. Know your worth and be up as much as you possibly can.

    I know, things happen in life, and you may get knocked down. You may have to climb out of big holes at times in your life but know that the right man will be there for you at all phases.  When you know your worth you are better able to choose the man for you and understand that looks aren’t everything.  Your health matters and with health often comes thinner bodies and more tone but deep inside your soul is what is the thing that you should be seeking to please.  If you get knocked down, get right back up and know that you are worthy and deserving of living the life of your dreams. Of course, look your best, empower him to look his best and be healthy while appreciating the life you have at all times for a greater level of happiness and joy.

3 ways to overcome guilt for great results

Do you feel guilty if you eat food or don’t do as much exercise as you want to do?  Sometimes I know it’s difficult to maintain and sustain a healthy lifestyle and guilt may be the very thing that is perpetuating health concerns and you not doing what is conducive to your wellbeing.  Guilt can plague you and cause you to suffer and manifest the very thing you don’t want.  The way to overcome guilt is to be loving of your body and self now while knowing that living in the realm of wrong or right and good or bad can work for you in terms of keeping you making the right and health choices.  But do you use the right and wrong or good and bad approach to your health in a way that makes you feel deflated and destroyed?  Let’s face it, there are things that are good for you and some that are bad for you, and you know what they are often so the way to dissolve the guilt is to do what you know is good for you and your body while dealing with the cause of the guilt internally.  If you go off the wagon, the guilt is there as a teacher and to show you something about yourself and to drive you to make healthier choices.  These insights will assist you to overcome guilt and dissolve this emotion in a way that has you stop rebelling and manifesting what you don’t want and discovering and creating what you do want:

  1. Embrace guilt as your greatest teacher.

    As mentioned, learning from your guilt is a very powerful and productive thing to do. If you make guilt all wrong and allow it to plague you, you set yourself up for failure but if you master it, you are better placed to get over it quickly and create great results in the way that you want to.  Feeling guilt is a human constructed emotion therefore this gives you power and the ability to know you can transform it.  It might be the result of your actions or non-actions but it’s inside you that these feelings are arising so take your guilt and make it mean something very powerful to be able to rise above it, learn and grow from it in a way that has you know that guilt may come and go and you can still create the results you want if you see that guilt can be a sign you aren’t doing what you truly want to do for your body and self.

  2. Focus on the opposite of guilt and how it serves you.

    What is the opposite of guilt for you? Focus on that and reframe your thoughts toward a more powerful and productive approach.  Look at the habit you did that causes you the guilt and know that the guilt is showing you as mentioned it’s not something you morally or for health reasons wanted to do and change your behaviours toward what you want.  When it comes to weight, body image and fitness, many women are plagued with guilt and it can drive them but it’s more powerful and sustainable if you are driven from a place not of pain but of pleasure and inspiration that has you know that as you focus on what you want, you create more of what you want.

  3. Use it to fuel your fire and make the right choices.

    Guilt can be something that destroys or makes you. As you learn from it and use the opposite of it to focus on what you want you can use the guilt in ways that cause you to dissolve the emotions associated with it, not feel the guilt but still make healthier choices.  So many women think that if they didn’t have the negative emotions that drive them, they would go off the wagon.  This might be ‘I hate my body so I’ll work out and diet’ or ‘I can’t stand looking in the mirror so I’ll morph into the ideal woman’ or ‘I ate that, and I feel so guilty and will punish myself for it, so I don’t do it again’.  Living in the world of punishment for your choices isn’t going to help you succeed but coming from a deep intrinsic place where you know that you are driven by health and wellbeing over guilt and hate the power is put back into your hands as you are in charge of your life, therefore your results.

If you want something, go and make it happen

Do you want body love? Or maybe to lose some weight and shape up?  Maybe you want it all?  In this mission I will be talking about the impact of not getting what you want.  My aim is to help you see the way your life may not be working because of the way you think about your body or the habits you might have that stop you from succeeding.  So many women as I often talk about put off their mission because they think they aren’t thin enough and that can include getting healthy.  Make sure you know that Battle Babes is about body love and losing weight if you want to while making sure you don’t think that you have to lose weight to get out there and create what you want.  As you get on mission, you are focused on other things that are not body image concerns, weight or obsession or rejection of fitness.  Of course, make time and align your values toward what you truly want while knowing that if you get out there, make things happen and do what you are meant to be doing, you say to yourself and the world – other opinions don’t count! Through this article, I will share with you some insights to assist you to get out there and make things happen:

  1. Give up the need to please people.

    When you are a people pleaser, you may cave to eating and drinking unhealthy substances or you might find yourself giving up on your goals because you want to fit in. Stand out I say!  Be the one who is willing to say no to what doesn’t serve you and yes to what does.  In this you must understand that if you have flimsy boundaries and allow yourself to become what others want you to be and not what you want to be, you might feel some pain and that pain might be ill health and poor body image.  As a people pleaser you sacrifice your health and body image for those who aren’t on the journey or who sometimes take pleasure in your unhealthy behaviours sabotaging you or yourself.  Make sure you stop trying to please everyone else and take life by the horns and get out there and make things happen regardless of what you look like or how you feel about yourself.

  2. Give up caring what others think.

    I know this well, so many people think their opinion counts when it comes to the way you should look. Perfectionism is something that is often derived from caring about external opinions and thinking that what other people say about you that is negative actually matters.  It is important to be real and understand that you can’t often escape the opinions of others but if you cared about what others think, you wouldn’t get to the gym with your curves and bumps.  You wouldn’t get out there and make your amazing career happen or have the dream relationship you want that is about loving you no matter what you look like.  When you are about your inner vision of external opinion you become more empowered, and you let go of body hate and find your own way in the world.

  3. Make a plan and stick to it.

    Planning is essential to success. When you plan you give yourself a chance to succeed and to be resourceful to be able to achieve.  When it comes to planning, you may find yourself face limiting thoughts, feelings and emotions that sabotage you or cause you to feel you aren’t worthy which is common with women who have faced body image and self-image concerns.  Be sure to overcome these and decide, commit and act toward what you know is meant for you. If you want to lose weight, lose the weight off your mind first or at the same time and make sure you do it for health and wellbeing over vanity because that is how it lasts.  Planning is for everyone and always adjust and review your plans over time and as you succeed, you will most often find that you achieve more than you thought if you have lost the weight off your mind and you are committed to your vision. Get out there, make things happen and ensure you do it from a place of fun, joy, body love and win the war on weight, body image and fitness by being in the game.

3 ways to overcome your past and excuses to move forward

The body love movement is something that is very important to be involved with and loving your body now is imperative to your health and mental health.  In this journey it is also imperative that you seek to be healthy. Overcoming the past and excuses when it comes to your body is something that will set you free while in this journey be sure to not use the fact that you are loving your body to let your health and wellbeing slide.  I’m not saying this has anything to do with looks because you are so much more than your body shape and size.  What I am saying is that your health and wellbeing are just as important as loving your body.  Let’s face it, someone who truly loves and adores their body doesn’t want to do harmful things to it.  They want to be healthy and live with vitality.  Battle Babes Fitness and this mental game is all about loving your body now and no matter what size or shape you are or have been while ensuring you focus on your health.  I of all people know this is a journey but don’t be one of those body hating women who puts unhealthy things into your body while also don’t use the body love mission as an excuse to become, remain or be unhealthy.  These insights will assist you to overcome the past and excuses to move powerfully forward with your body love and weight, body image and fitness mission:

  1. Exercise to embody and embrace your body.

    I’m not saying you should thrash yourself and do things that make you sore and tired all of the time. What I am saying is that it is imperative that you get out there, get going and find some consistency with your body love and your exercise.  When you embody and embrace your body you are better placed to feel into what you want and need.  You are much more likely to lose some weight and be healthier while I understand that you may be storing pain and trauma in your body which is what may have caused you to gain weight, while know that exercise can cause you to shape up and if you do it in a way that you love, you are more likely to stick to it and reach your goals.

  2. Seek professional help to deal with stored memories.

    What do you truly think of exercise, eating well and losing weight? Are you all tangled up inside with limiting thoughts, feelings and emotions struggling to find your way and going on and off diets or programs?  Are you unable to sustain your program because of your limiting beliefs?  When you identify what has been holding you back, you are better able to move forward and leave the past behind you.  I know it might seem hard because of hormones, old habits, mental health and other factors but don’t allow these to impact your health.  Love your body now and seek assistance to overcome anything that may be causing you to not be healthy, not exercise and avoid eating well.

  3. Shake it all off, love your body and get in the game.

    Excuses that are associated with the past will only hold you down and using the body love movement as a reason to not look after yourself is something that may be a big issue in society. Battle Babes is about balancing your body love with health.  Most often I am talking to the women who let their health go and want to lose weight and the way to love your body is to see images of women who are not the ideal woman but are still ideal in their body because they embrace themselves in entirety and are loved and a lovable now.  Shake off the past and seek to find your way and look after yourself for a body and future that lasts the distance for your mission on this earth.  By shaking it off, you get yourself further in the game and you are able to rise to any challenge because the past does not dictate your future.

You don’t need to be super skinny to be loved

What is your relationship with love, your body and your looks?  Do you think that being skinny is a reflection of loving yourself or that you need to be thin to be loved by others?  So much of the acceptance of women revolves around looks. There is so much judgement and assumptions about a woman for their weight.  What about all the women who have suffered trauma, had children or struggled in some way who are seeking love thinking that it’s only for the skinny ones.  The media portrays perfect love being two thin people who are Hollywood perfect, and the world has lost its way when it comes to the loving body and self-mission.  Of course, thin women think they are sometimes fat also, so this is for all shapes and sizes because there is a very big problem with women not loving their bodies now.  Do you think that one day when you reach your goal you will be loved and lovable? It makes sense if you fear intimacy and love also that you would put your goals off or carry extra weight to protect yourself.  You can be loved now, and you are lovable regardless of your body shape or size while making health of the upmost importance.  These insights will assist you to know you are loved now and to take the actions that someone who loves themselves does:

  1. Be vulnerable and allow love in.

    This is something that may frighten some women because they may be thinking that a wonderful loving relationship with someone who is your soul mate is only for those who have it all together. They think that skinny women are the only ones who have it all, but all shapes and sizes can while you must consider the impact of body weight on your health, it still means nothing about you as a woman and human being.  All it might be is your past pain and hurt manifesting on your body so don’t make it wrong and be vulnerable to allow love in from you and others to make sure you know you are lovable no matter what shape or size you are.  Put yourself out there, embrace your body and know that you can and will learn the art of love right now.

  2. Focus on what you want and achieve your goals powerfully.

    Success is a great healer and breeds success. Take your attention off your weight and while being present, strong and empowered go out and make your life happen. That’s right, stop putting things off or protecting yourself through weight concerns and start looking at what you can do for the world, others and humanity.  When you focus on what you want, immerse yourself in a balanced way in living your life powerfully, you don’t think you are not good enough or thin enough for love, you are living it and often the weight will fall away if you want it to and you may find yourself leading a somewhat empowered and inspiring life now.  Putting things off until a later date because you think you aren’t thin enough is a waste of time so love your body now, focus on what you want and go out and make things happen.

  3. Breathe in love and exhale body hate.

    Breathing is underrated when it comes to being connected to your body. Breathe deeply into your body and connect to your soul while making sure you feel your body, embrace it in entirety and adore it now regardless of what shape or size it is.  What’s this got to do with loving your body now?  You will feel some emotions arise when you embody (connect to your body) and you may just find the body hate being released and breathed out.  So many women struggle to embody because of the way society has become so disconnected but with some breathing and other activities to get into your body, you can gently release body hate and replace it with acceptance and love.

3 ways to know you are loving your body now

What is love is the eternal question?  This is a very difficult thing to describe but I believe that love is when you can see what you perceive as the positive and negative sides of yourself and still adore yourself anyway.  It is when you are at peace with the way things are while working intrinsically (internally motivated or inspired) toward what you want.  Love seems like the path of least resistance but don’t be fooled into thinking that you won’t have any challenges in the process of loving your body.  You may one day feel on top of the world loving your body and something might happen making you feel like you aren’t loving your body but accepting the ups and downs is part of the love journey.  Focus on what you want while loving the challenges too.  It’s just like unconditionally loving another person.  I know this might be difficult to deal with as love in many realms has been painted out to be an all and only positive thing, but true love is when you can love the positive and negative aspects of yourself being humble in your beauty knowing that there is nowhere to get – while this is what will take you far.  These insights will assist you to be able to know you are loving your body now and find a sense of peace over all aspects of yourself:

  1. You win the war when you stop comparing.

    You are just perfect as you are. Yes, that’s right, you don’t need to change to be able to love your body now except one thing, and that is your thoughts about yourself.  When you are perpetually comparing yourself to other women or idealistic views of what you think you should look like, you take yourself out of the body love game.  Thinking you need to be different is the epidemic that plagues the world of women when love is to adore yourself now and not want to change a thing about the way your body is while working your way intrinsically toward health.  Losing weight is not about the way you look; it should be about your wellbeing.  Don’t fall for false promises that your internal world will improve only if you lose weight, you must do the inner work simultaneously and stop comparing yourself making yourself feel like you are never good enough – you are perfect and more than enough now.

  2. You are able to see that you are perfect the way you are.

    When you can see you are perfect the way you are, you free yourself and reduce the stress on your nervous system allowing your body to better metabolise fat. Yes, that’s right, your stress could just be the very thing causing you to hold onto extra weight.  Losing weight is up to you to decide whether you want to or not but what is important here is that you are able to love and adore yourself now and/or into the size you want to be.  That way you are able to create lasting change because you have done the inner work and love your body during ups and downs in life.  It is powerful to love your body at any stage whether thinner or not as thin while knowing that misery won’t go away when your body changes unless you transform your internal world.

  3. You are free and do what you love regardless of your body shape or size.

    When you are free in yourself, you are better placed to know that you are not only loved but lovable. So many women struggle to feel lovable, and their body image plagues them.  Know this – if people including a man aren’t loving on your body now then they aren’t the right people for you to surround yourself with.  Be free and be around others who are free in their minds and bodies too so that you can manifest into your life unconditional love in a way that I know you always dream of.  Who doesn’t want that I say?  Who wouldn’t want to be free in the way they view their body, wear what they like that compliments their shape and only lose weight if you want to for health reasons because you are adorable, adored and loved just the way you are?  Who ever decided that love is dependent on looks? Don’t be one of those women, be the type of woman who loves your body now and for all aspects of it knowing you are worthy and deserving just the way you are.

How to learn to eat to live rather than living to eat

What is your relationship with food?  Do you live to eat, or do you eat to live?  What this question is asking is do you find that you use food as a vice and live for it allowing it to run your life or are you in charge of it. Thus, making sure you are powerful and eat to nourish your body rather than to calm emotions or fill a void.  So many women feel they have voids in their lives which means they feel something is missing or they have emotional charges that cause them to uncontrollably reach for food.  Now don’t ever make yourself out to be a bad woman if you have done this, welcome to being a human being.  What this is about is making choices from a more powerful and healthy place where you are eating for the reasons that eating was invented – to nourish your body and keep you alive.  Food has become something that is used to numb out or as mentioned being a vice that can cause you concerns with your weight, body image and fitness.  These insights will provide you some ways forward from living to eat to eating to live:

  1. Master your emotions and habits for a powerful relationship with food.

    Emotions are powerful things. They can cause compulsions and addictions to be formed for the way that many women turn to food for comfort and to fill voids.  When you master your emotions, which is an ongoing life journey, you are better able to master the art of eating.  I know first-hand this is an ongoing journey where there may be times that you are stressed and eat more while there may be times you are more powerful with your choices and neither is right nor wrong but just ask yourself what outcomes you want. It can be difficult when you are plagued with negative emotions to master your eating and to be healthy, but it is worth looking at your habits based on your emotions so you can have a powerful relationship with food.

  2. Eat to be able to nourish your body and bring life to it.

    Eating for any reason but to nourish your body is not what eating was created for. As I mentioned, we all eat based on emotions at times and it’s important not to make yourself out to be a bad person for sometimes emotionally eating but consider the biology here where food is designed to nourish your body, not suppress or calm your emotions. The function of eating is for your body as your temple and to cause you to live a fulfilling and vibrant life.  I have fallen for the fallacy that food will numb the emotions, or it sometimes feels like it is the only thing that brings you any joy but the key here is to find other ways that are conducive to health to find joy in.  By nourishing your body, you are saying you want to live, you want to be vital, and you are willing to do what it takes to bring life to your life.

  3. Watch your life transform by eating to live.

    When you remove the excuses or reasons why you might be living to eat and you don’t make any of it wrong but love and adore yourself for the choices you have made, you begin to see that there is a new way of doing things. It may take a lot more than this article for you to have this breakthrough so please subscribe or book in for Tactical Support if you feel you need support. Your life transforming doesn’t mean you have to lose a ton of weight, it is your internal world that transforms to begin with, and any weight loss is a bonus.  Your willingness to eat to live will help you see that any other reason for eating is a human construct that has you fooled into thinking that food will bring you something other than life. You are a stunning woman regardless of your actions or non-actions, while making sure you focus on eating to live so you can really and truly live.

3 ways to overcome the past and heal body image concerns

It is important in life to live it fully.  How many women put off their life because of the way they think they look?  How many women struggle or are dying because of the way that they think they look?  The time has come for some change and to heal the past so you can fully live your life.  Now it may take a lot more than just reading this to be able to do that but know that just by being here reading this you have made the right choice when it comes to overcoming what may be holding you back.  It is important to know that the past can be healed regardless of what you have endured and that it may be affecting you now even though it occurred a long time ago.  To put things into context on this mission, your manifestations in your life are a reflection of your thoughts, feeling, emotions, actions as a result of those or non-actions.  Your driving force comes from what has happened to you in the past and there is hope that you can take charge and make your life the way you want it to be whether that be that you want to lose or gain weight.  These insights will assist you to overcome the past and know where to look to heal while knowing if you are triggered, be sure to seek Tactical Support and help to be able to powerfully move forward:

  1. Recall the first time you experienced not loving your body.

    When you were born you didn’t care what you looked like. You were free and fun loving, and it is simply life events and modelling or decisions you made that have caused you to become who you are today both positive and negative.  In thinking back over your life, when was the first moment you experienced not accepting and loving your body just the way it is?  What was occurring in your life at that time?  Now go ahead and write that down and what you decided about yourself and then write down what you want to think instead and focus on that.  This is called reframing which is a basic concept that is often easier said than done but you can if you create some positive affirmations that assist you to heal and make new decisions about yourself.

  2. Notice other moments this affected you and heal.

    As you made decisions in the past, your life has somewhat been shaped by that pivotal moment you decided you are not a stunning and beautiful woman inside and out. You may have been influenced by other’s words, projections or magazines, media, social media or an endless list of ways women are impacted and then manifested behaviours and non-behaviours as a result of this decision you made.  When you look at your life you will see how that decision you made initially when you went from an all-loving joyful child to being impacted by the world around you, you get to see that you can transform your thinking about yourself and find new ways of looking at your body.

  3. See how your body image concerns have served you.

    I know this may be difficult, but these concerns have served you in some way. I’m not saying that ill health and body image concerns are a good thing, but what I am saying that there is great power when you stop rejecting what you think about yourself and start to see that there is a blessing in every situation.  When you see the blessing, it doesn’t mean anything is right or wrong, what it does do is brings you freedom and I want that for you.  When you have freedom, the power is back in your hands and you aren’t shaped by the decisions you made when you were a child where you lost your body bliss and innocence and to see the blessing it stops you feeling like a victim and gives you back your power to decide, commit and act in new ways.  All challenges have served you in some way and in that you can see the perfection not in being perfect but being an imperfect human being who is on a journey where all aspects of yourself are to be loved.
