In this episode Wendi talks about understanding your beginnings with food and weight and how it relates to your present. Without understanding with compassion you can never have awareness of patterns. Without awareness there is no hope for true, lasting change. In that there can be no long term success with weight loss, body satisfaction and self-esteem. Remember pattern recognition in this area can lead to change in any area you have created a pattern.

We often talk about self-love, discipline and willpower but rarely do we talk about self-respect. The truth is, the reality behind weight, body and life change actually relies on the respect we have for ourselves. Instead of focusing on control, focus on respect. The regulation it provides your body will ignite change not only in your weight but also in your life.

So many people make new year’s resolutions but is it really the way to make lasting, sustainable change? We all know the answer is no, but yet we still do it. In this episode Wendi looks at the how’s and why’s to do new year’s differently. There are steps you can take to help you thrive in the new year with your food, weight, physiology and psychology. What if you did it differently this time?
