Chichi Eruchalu: You don't need a Perfect Body for the Holidays

Episode Summary Tis that time of the year again when all the marketing and advertising is focused on reminding women especially that they need to fix their bodies to have a great time. I know we've all been impacted one way or the other. We plugged in this episode to help you work through the holiday season plus all that new year 'weight loss' resolution that the holiday anxiety gets you into but you never stick with. We are still on the recovery and empowerment through nutrition series but we want to make sure we are truly meeting your needs. We know right, it can really be frustrating to have a closet full of beautiful clothes that you cannot wear because they are not your size and you are unwilling to part with them. This episode will get you digging deep and asking yourself the hard but relevant questions. Lastly and should we say, most importantly, how to respond to negative comments and body bashing over the holidays.

I have to go to specialists shops. So I have always hated that fact and not enjoyed my feet but I’m grateful now for my feet. I’m walking and it takes me places. - I buy things that work for me so my wardrobe may look same but full of clothes that I CAN wear other than “I can't wear this or that” “ I can't wear this, it shows that” and you go through the wardrobe. It looks full but full of things I cannot wear. - Accept where you are. Just because you didn't lose weight doesn’t mean you should not dress well. Dress for your shape right now, buy things that work for you. - What you feel about your body today is not necessarily what comes from inside of you. It’s not your own feeling, it is something that has been said to you over time. Its time to recreate your own body story. ----------- 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. --------- 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.
