What's holding you back?

Are you afraid of jumping into mindfulness with both feet?  Is it fear that if you ate every time you were physically hungry you would gain 1000 pounds in a week?  Are you afraid to become curious about your behaviors because you think there is something there is something there inherently broken and beyond fixing?  Deep down, do you think you are going to fail anyway so why bother?

But your weight bothers you!  You spend a lot of time worrying about how you look, which clothes will fit, how you will possibly make it through the holidays -- do you want to live this way forever?  Is this what you think life has to be?

It's not.

You can find your natural weight.  You can learn to eat and enjoy your food with ease and grace.  EVERYONE who wants to put the training time in can acheive this.  No muss, no fuss.

You can reconnect with your sensations of hunger and fullness. 

You can learn to taste what is currently in your mouth without worrying about what the next bite is going to be or if there is going to be enough.

But first you have to figure out what EXACTLY what is holding you back.  Are you willing to take a look at yourself in the mirror and figure out the answer to that question?
