3 Things You Didn’t Know about Slimming Down with Pleasure

Still, there are 3 key advanced skills you may not know about slimming down with pleasure, that I want you to have at your fingertip.

Read on to discover these 3 skills for slimming with pleasure. Look them over, let them sink in, and infuse them into your life as soon as you can.

1. You’ve got to be accountable for it.

If you want to slim down with pleasure like a pro, you’ve got to start taking accountability for your pleasure, and your life.

What does taking accountability mean? It means owning the fact that you are the author of your life, and not the victim of your unique circumstances. It also means realizing you are the only person who is responsible for infusing pleasure into your body, and life.

Many women who are not on the path of Pleasurable Weight Loss (yet) often complain about their bodies, their lives and their challenges. Rather than claiming their power to create their bodies and lives in the way they desire, they sit and whine about how they can’t have what they want.

Darling, leave the whining for the sour grapes. Take accountability for, and investigate, your heart’s desires. Ask yourself:

• What do you, the author of your life, truly desire?
• What do you want to create that you’ve been postponing or ignoring?

If you don’t investigate your desires, and become accountable for them, your unfulfilled desire will get deflected on to food. Your body will sense your lack of “full”fillment, and demand you fill yourself with food to fill that gaping hole.

Once you take accountability for your body and life, you’ll be practicing a world class skill, used exclusively by the most seasoned and successful Pleasurable Weight Loss queens. I wholeheartedly believe in your power to own this skill, no matter how new you may be to slimming with pleasure.

2. You’ve got to create a sustainable ecology.

Once you become accountable for your body and life, you can use your power to create an ecology that supports your slimming down, every day, in every possible way, for the long run.

A sustainable ecology for your slimming would never require you to take diet pills, restrict your food or sacrifice your joy in any way. On the contrary, it would invite you to reach for your fun, freedom and pleasure, in every aspect of your life.

Let’s take a moment to better understand the power of a slimming ecology: imagine a fat, domestic cat and a rainforest monkey.

The fat, domestic, household cat is surrounded by 4 walls, its owner and the same, lame toys, every day. It mimics its owner’s tv-watching behavior, eats some low-quality cat food and lives a pretty disconnected, boring life.

Now, consider the rainforest monkey. The rainforest monkey hangs around other rainforest monkeys who are wild, free, moving from tree to tree and eating foods that come straight from Mama Earth, all amidst the beauty of nature.

This wisdom rings clear: If you want to be slim, surround yourself with a lively ecology of people who also want to be, or already are, using pleasure to get and stay slim.

Creating a sustainable ecology for your slimming down through pleasure is definitely one of the main skills used by advanced Pleasuristas, or women on the path of pleasure. And you can rock it, too.

3. You’ve got to be present. 

A major key to slimming down with pleasure is being completely present while experiencing your food, thoughts and feelings.

When it comes to eating your food like a seasoned Pleasurista, you’ve got to be 100% centered, free of distractions and consciously connected to the food you are eating.

Note: You get extra credit points if you’re in a beautiful, nurturing environment, and in the presence of good company that is also eating in a centered, pleasurable way.

Being present with your food connects your sensory awareness to the messages that your body is sending you. You’ll eat the right amount, feel fuller sooner and hey, even enjoy your food a hundredfold.

Also, make sure you become present with your thoughts and feelings, i.e. your internal ecology.

• What language are you mentally using to describe your wise, female body?
• Are you feeling judgmental about your body, shape or size?

Get present and consciously connected to your thoughts, your feelings and your habits of eating. Becoming aware of something is the very first and most important step to changing it, like a pleasure pro.

This, my darling, concludes the 3 masterful tips of slimming down with pleasure.

Obviously, these keys are not for the weak of heart – they’re for powerful women who are ready to take their slimming to a whole other level – the permanently pleasurable level.

Be accountable, create ecology, and be present. And when you’re ready, consider these questions:

1. Which advanced pleasurable skill sounds the most accessible to you? Which are you ready to try out this week?
2. Which advanced skill sounds the toughest and most foreign? Why?

Once you’re through being present with this post, make sure you forward it to another woman in your life that’s ready to go pro with her pleasurable slimming. Teamwork can be magical!

With tremendous faith in you,
