FIRST STOP - FAT IS NOT A BAD WORD!
* And so the sessions are geared to look at FAT as a whole, from all perspectives.
* Which means learning to love & respect your body, instead of abusing, hiding or shaming it.
ALONG THE WAY - FAT HAS A FUNCTION.
* Why stress on only losing weight?
* Or swinging wildly like a yo-yo?
* Know that there is a biological need for Fat.
* So, build your awareness about balancing Fat reserves and maintaining an ideal weight.
THE JOURNEY - FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AWARENESS.
* All actions have repercussions on the body. With Fat we don’t see an immediate consequence.
* Learn to do actions without tripping or losing focus.
* With daily activities that enable all the above to be put in place to sustain a relationship with your body, how you eat, move, sleep, stay charged - in short your well-being.
