You're getting ready, you're excited to see your friends and family, it's a beautiful, hot, sunny day, just perfect for the BBQ and Pool party planned.
You grab your shorts from last year and you pull them on and you stop. You realize in horror that you can't even get them up and doing them up is impossible! You're feel a sinking dread in
the pit of your stomach as you start yanking things out of your drawers, trying in vain to find something from last summer that fits, without any luck.
You slump down onto the bed trying desperately to hold back the tears. Now what? What are you going to do? None of your summer clothes fit, as you've never weighed this much before.
You Refuse to buy a
bigger size. You are determined to lose the weight, but you've tried Everything and Nothing ever works. You feel like a failure and the negative self talk begins to spiral out of control.
Too late for woulda, coulda, shoulda, it's summer time and all you want to do is hide. Now you don't even want to go to the BBQ. You fight back the tears as you pull on the ugly, baggy clothes of the only thing stretchy things you have
that still fit. Layering an old sweater over them, even on this hot day, to hide the body you loathe. No need to bring your bathing suit, you'll have to come up with an excuse as to why.
I feel your pain, many of my clients have been in the same place. Before they came to see me and started eating right for their body type.
