Okay. So I was having a fat day and here's what I did.
Hey there, it's Nichole Kellerman here, founder and creator of Successful Weight Loss School;
where women go to stop dieting, reshape their bodies and feel wildly alive.
Alright, so this morning I woke up and I was just having a fat day and this isn't something
that is common for me, I'm used to be in a past but when it comes to my Successful Weight
Loss School sisters, I always dive into them and really dig deep and figure out, "Okay.
This doesn't have to deal with you feeling fat." Because fat isn't really a feeling.
There has something to be deeper here. There has something to be more emotional. Because
the truth is when we get really stress out of something, we just turn on ourselves and
making us feel fat. So, this morning I woke up, I went to a personal
training client and still having a fat day and I notice that there was comparing myself
to the other trainers. I was just, "Am I fat than here?" "Is she better looking than me?"
Just in really negative unhealthy place. I got back home. I got a plan to go for a run
but I did not go for a run at all but I knew that I needed to go. I knew in my heart that
I needed to go and reconnect with my body and kind of give myself a peep talk and get
myself out of this negative thought pattern that I was stuck in.
So I turned on my jams and went for a run and I really just had a heart to heart with
myself like, "What is it? Why is it weird? Is it emotional? If it is emotional, what
is it? What is it really?" And I figured out it wasn't something deeply emotional because
I've been feeling something really stellar honestly. And I figured out that last night
I have watched a really great movie with Reese Wetherspoon and that she looked fabulous.
She look a lot thinner than she usually does and what I realize is that I started comparing
myself to her. Every time she'd get a new outfit, I've been
like, "Hmmm, can I pull that off? That's so cute! I don't think I'm enough to wear that."
I was just craving this really unhealthy relationship with my body because I'm comparing myself
to Reese Wetherspoon at this time and then to other people in the gym this morning.
So the first thing that I did is just starting to love up my body. I started to apologize
and say sorry because I know that my body does a lot for me and she is awesome and she
gets me around every day and I can hike mountains and I can walk and I can see and I can here.
And so I really just said, I'm sorry and apologize and was grateful for my body and kind of just
love up on here a little bit and reconnected with her. And now I feel great! I'm no longer
having a fat day. It was only a fat morning. So here's a deal. Here's what I did just to
break it down for you. Number one -- Realize what it is and figure
out where it stems from. Is it stems from something emotional? Is your husband not picking
up around the house and it's stressing you out? Is pitting up yourself? Is work really
stressful? Your kids are stressing you out and you're just turning on yourself. If it's
emotional, deal with that problem. Is it superficial like the example gave to you today; you just
need to check yourself sister (number two). Check yourself before you wreck yourself and
figure out that your body is amazing and she does amazing things for you every day and
she gives you every single second, in this second right now she is giving to you.
And number three, apologize, be grateful for everything she does for you and reconnect.
Alright, if you're having a fat day, use these tools and let me know how it works
for you.
