Hi ,
The path to weight loss begins with
self-acceptance. — Catherine L. Taylor
Change begins with an acceptance of where you are in the moment. As Louise Hay wrote, "The point of power is always in the moment." In each moment the opportunity for change exists.
Acceptance does not mean resignation or defeat. It means accepting how life currently is, not how you would like it to be.
Acceptance is dealing with life on life’s terms. One cannot change what one cannot accept.That’s right. You have to accept where you’re at before you can really affect change.
When you come to a place of acceptance, you’re no longer struggling with yourself, your body, food, or your reality. You understand that you’ll never arrive at a magical place where you’re a finished product and your life, your body, or your eating is perfect. As long as you’re alive, you’ll be a work in progress.
You understand and
accept that all you need to do each day is fully show up for your life, do your best, and let the rest go. Acceptance allows for change to gradually unfold, instead of trying to force it to fit your timetable and preconceived notions. Acceptance allows for good days, bad days, and days in between. It doesn’t expect perfection; it just wants your participation.
Self-acceptance doesn’t mean you stop striving to be better or to lose weight. It just means your motives for change are different. Self-acceptance is a radical act. It says, “I’m ok with who I am, warts and all. If I seek to improve myself, it’s because I want to fulfill my potential and evolve as a human being,
not because I need to gain anyone’s love and approval.”
Change from this place feels less threatening because it’s something you truly want with your heart; it’s not coming from a place of fear, self-judgement and “should.” In other words, it’s coming from a place of allowing and receptivity, instead of something you’re forcing yourself to do.
When you’re in a state of allowing and receptivity, you’re aligned with your true Source nature, and there is a sense of effortlessness and flow because you’re not desperately struggling against the current of life. Life is carrying you.
Self-acceptance of your whole being, your weaknesses, as well as your strengths, is what makes you whole.
When you’re whole, you’re a true force to be reckoned with, for you’re no longer at war with yourself. You are free to be your true self and freely share your gifts with the world.
