Although it’s now more politically correct to say release weight rather than lose weight, due to the negative connotation with the word “lose,” I still appreciate the term, crass though it may sound, for what it states in black and white–you’re going to lose something.

And while it’s really easy to lose money, lose track of time, or lose papers on a messy desk–at least it is for me–weight is one of those pernicious areas that defies the idea that losing something is easy. Weight’s got the bad reputation for being hard to shake.

To break that bad rep, and to show you how the act of slimming can actually be pleasurable, on this week’s video blog I emphasize the importance of going deeper into the matter to reveal what at first might not be obvious.

When you go deeper into appreciation of the idea that, yes, something will be lost, something will be left behind, the path of wanting to shed pounds becomes more dimensional than a calorie-counter can comprehend, and becomes about the whole of your being.

That’s why I call this the feminine strategies for weight loss, because like the proverbial Mother Earth–who includes all, and excludes none–this approach looks to take all the parts of you that are influencing whether you lose weight or not into consideration, creating a naturally holistic solution.

One thing I can promise you–the parts of yourself you‘ll discover on this journey of going deeper will give you needed clues on how to have a fantastic life and lose weight in the process.

I know you’ll enjoy this video on approaching slimming in a way that probes much further than skin deep.

Leave me a comment in the comment section below with what this idea stirs up for you.
