Gals, it’s time for a pep talk.

We all know that pleasure sounds great, but it can be hard to trust that feeling so good can be possible when you’re used to feeling overweight, ugly, ashamed or frustrated. But I’m telling you, if you want things to change, you’ve got to start by changing how you feel – from what feels horrible to what feels pleasurable.

Pleasure is a vital ingredient to losing weight, and without it nothing you try will work. Nothing.

Forget everything you thought you knew about getting results through grueling diets and workouts. Drop anything that doesn’t give you pleasure – from controlling your cravings, calories or portions, to being obsessed with the numbers on the scale or measuring tape.

Anything that comes from a masculine approach and puts you in a mindset of control, restriction or punishment is against the nature of your Female Animal. She wants pleasure; and she will rebel when you inflict that self-denying, masculine approach upon her.

Have the courage to embrace pleasure. Give yourself the permission to trust your female body. You’ll find that it’s more than just a formula for losing weight. It’s a whole new way of living and relating to your body and food. It’s a path of profound self-love, beauty and happiness.

Right now.
