I was talking to a client yesterday, and we were discussing the time when work, family, and other responsibilities were so at the forefront of her life that she felt she literally disappeared. She just became a “doing machine” that constantly tended to everything and everyone around her, with no sense of self. So she ate to feel. She ate as the only little moments of pleasure she could steal. She ate to stay awake. She got so very tired. We thought of how this must be the real meaning, not the misogynistic one, behind the phrase “she let herself go.” She let her SELF go. As you can see from my previous post, I understood this completely. Then one day we wake up, and let ourselves GO! We free ourselves to put our health, wellness and happiness on the list FIRST. And find we are even better at taking care of everything we need to, after all. ❤️❤️❤️
