“Self Hate is easy. Loving your self takes patience, kindness and forgiveness. Do the hard things. Embrace the hard change of realizing that you are the only constant you will ever truly have and you must cherish that. Learn to love yourself. Remember: Your being is the first gift from God you ever received.” – Ebony Ajima

There is no quick fix when it comes to weight loss
Today’s Inspiration: There is no quick fix. There is no magic plan for weight loss that works for EVERYBODY. Stop looking for it. No shortcuts. Losing weight takes time and can be hard, but you have to embrace that and move out of your comfort zone. If you have health issues, get them addressed and talk to your doc about what you need to do to lose weight. No excuses. If you are just addicted to food, not motivated, haven’t started yet, feeling lazy, etc…then need an attitude adjustment. You need to connect with a REASON and a WHY. You need to figure out what is the most motivating reason for you to CHANGE! Don’t blame the donuts. Don’t blame your unsupportive loved ones. Don’t blame anything at all. Just get up and make better choices day after day after day…and build a better lifestyle that will bring you to your weight loss goals. Only action will bring about change. – Ajima
Divine Beauty is Not Defined by the Scale
Today’s Inspiration | “You are beautiful now! Losing weight will not make your more beautiful in the most sacred and pure sense. Sure it may enhance the physical manifestation of your beauty, but your size alone can not make you beautiful. Your beauty is a divine gift that you’ve had since birth. If you don’t believe that, I suggest you make your acceptance of this fact as high a priority as any weight loss or wellness lifestyle change. Accept your beauty. Walk in your beauty. Embrace the truth that no person, act, or number on a scale should define your beauty for you. God already has.” – Ajima
Nothing is easy to the unwilling
Today’s Inspiration | “Nothing is easy to the unwilling.”
-Nikki Giovanni
BWLW Ladies, Consider this: Perhaps weight loss has not come easy for you because you are unwilling to change. Are you truly willing to do the hard things? Are you willing to sacrifice what you are clinging to?

Put Negative Thoughts on a Diet
Today’s Inspiration | Put negative thoughts on a “diet”. Each of us is responsible for the content of our own minds. You have a choice as to the content of what you program your mind with. I like the saying “Garbage in,garbage out.” It reminds me to become more conscious of what I put into my mind, especially when it comes to food and weight loss. If I want to feel good, create positive actions and results in my life, I need to feed my mind a steady diet of positive thoughts.
