Humans haven't changed a lot genetically since the 70s, so why were most people a healthy weight when I was growing up? Now people in the healthy weight range are in the minority. Around two thirds of us fall into the overweight or obese categories. 70s people weren't running on willpower to stay slim and we haven't lost all our moral fibre over the decades!

There are lots of factors which contribute to the obesity epidemic, but one, I believe, is the outsourcing of most of our nutrition to large food companies. It's time to take back some of that control and make gradual lifestyle changes. I've done this and I believe you can too.

In this second episode of Loving Your Sacred Vessel I share one of the key Aha! moments I experienced at the start of my own Sacred Vessel weight loss journey. It was a realisation that has underpinned the holistic approach I formulated to losing my excess weight in a kind and sustainable way that respected and cared for my body. This is how I work with other women in my Loving Your Sacred Vessel Programme now too.

In this episode I'll be talking about diets. I'll be sharing some of my own diet history and my frustration as each successive diet became less effective and my weight increased over time.

I'm asking if you have a similar history of weight loss and weight gain. It may be time to ponder your dieting history and think about all the conflicting advice you have followed over the years. Where has all this dieting effort left you?

I reached the realisation that the answer to my excess weight would not be found in the latest diet book, and I knew I needed to find a different approach. It was at that point I started to listen to my inner guidance and everything began to change for the better.

I end this episode with some Sacred Vessel affirmations. If you are driving or working machinery or have other reasons to keep your attention on what you are doing keep your eyes open and stay fully alert! You can always pause your listening and come back to this part of the programme later when you can relax.

You can expect practical exercises, questions for reflection and self-enquiry, affirmations, simple visualisations and other ways to build your self-worth and self-esteem.

We’ll be talking about food in some of our episodes too, but not in a calorie counting, points tracking, or faddy way. Lauren will be encouraging you to nourish your beautiful body with real food, so that she can be her healthiest self.
