We were never meant to look like that anyway. - I recognised that my body is God's temple. For God to be comfortable in that temple, I had to treat it the right way. I was aware of what I was eating or drinking - of what goes into my temple. It is a queens body. - I got comfortable with my size and if you don’t like it well, guess what; it is my body and I’m the one living in it. - As women we are constantly under one pressure or the other. It’s ok for the body to change, be ok with it. Acknowledge it, accept it. It is a constant in every woman’s life. - Don’t just focus on weight loss, focus on getting your mind right. When your mind is right, everything falls into place. ------------------ Be sure to share on your social media pages, tag your friends, invite them to start listening and start a conversation with the hashtag #beyondadresssize and tag us too @beyondadresssize. ----------- Grab Dr. Ezinne’s FREE TRAINING on ‘How to Lose Weight and Never Gain it Back’ at bit.ly/beyondweightloss so you too can finally finally get rid of the weight loss lifestyle, LOSE WEIGHT and NEVER GAIN IT BACK and live fabulously every waking day. --------- Schedule a consultation session with Dr. Ezinne so she can help you walk through your body struggles and rewrite your body story today - https://calendly.com/zinnyslifestyle/coachingsession If you have questions about booking Dr. Ezinne, sponsoring this podcast, guest suggestions or questions you’d like answered on the podcast; email us at [e-mail] To Subscribe to Beyond A Dress Size Podcast on: - iTunes - Stitcher - Spotify - Anchor - Google Podcasts - Castbox Simply head to anchor.fm/beyondadresssize choose your favourite platform and subscribe.
