NO MORE DIETS!













How are your New Year's resolutions coming along just about now? I hope you aren't feeling like a failure because you couldn't keep your enthusiasm up for your resolutions...

New Year's resolutions are so often about negative body image and not being good enough just the way we are. Maybe instead of making New Year's resolutions, we could start a New Year's REVOLUTION. We could work on feeling good in our own skin. We could love and accept our bodies, and feel liberation from a diet industry that plagues us. We could focus on normal, intuitive eating, enjoyable and life-long physical activity, and healthy sleep patterns and stress management.

Let's invest time and money in ourselves rather than in the diet industry. Imagine decreasing self-criticism and body judgment, and living now, not in the past or future. We could start with something as simple as finding and wearing something we feel good in now, right where we are.

As a clothing store owner, I've seen many of us waiting to feel good in clothing until we are "thin enough." That time rarely gets here, even with the best of intentions and resolutions... I've also struggled with being "good enough" and feeling worthy myself. I know from experience that when I feel good, I look good. And when I look good, I feel better, too!

Forget resolutions. Instead start a REVOLUTION! Live your life as if you were at your desired weight, including wearing beautiful, comfortable clothing in your present size. When we can accept ourselves just as we are, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Stop by soon and find something beautiful to wear. We have lots of new arrivals for Spring, and the fall and winter items are now on sale.

All the best to you, my beautiful and worthy friends.

  1. Love this post Renee. I remember being in the store last month and we talked about the fact I was feeling frumpy in my frumpy jeans. By the time I left the store I was ready to shake my bootie! Thanks Renee for reminding us all of what is important!
