I need this so badly! My son is getting married in July and I can’t imagine myself in his wedding pictures looking the way I do now! Even with all that, I can’t seem to motivate myself to get to the gym! What I feel is scared, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why! Frankly, I’ve lost and regained the same 40 lbs 4 or is it 5 times in the last 10 years!
I had the absolute pleasure of taking both Soul Restoration online classes and they made such a difference to me, but the one place I still need help is with my weight. I have struggled with it all my life and I turn 40 this year and decided enough was enough! I need to make this change for me and this class would be a great start. You are such an inspiration to women! The fact that these classes are born directly from your struggles is what makes them so honest and real and why they are so helpful to us all.
I would love to participate in this class. I have been a fitness trainer for 20 years. 3 children, long marriage lots and lots of giving. I turned 50 last May and claimed it was going to be ‘my year’. Well half of this year is over and I want to make the BEST of each remaining day till 51. I want to give myself a gift and this feels like just the thing. I need to find out what it will feel like to really give to myself~ have had the same weight goals all 20 years. Not a lot of weight to lose but feel that if I can shed this last bit of the pain (weight) I have been carrying around for most of my life II can continue to give of myself fully and honestly without forgetting about me in the process. Then I would be best kind of teacher there is one who pracitices what she preaches.
I left a lousy job that was emotionallyand physically depleting, one year of inner work and i’m still workin’ on it. now it’s time to make me like what i see again. somehow no amount of husband and friends telling me that i’m ok is doing it. i lost 100 lbs. right before i started the job 10 yrs. ago, and, of course, i’ve gained all but 5 lbs. back. help
I have resisted writing several times, because I have simply lost hope in many ways. I read your daily notes, and have watched the transforming videos clips of those who have taken your soul restoration class. Something within me, cries out to really believe the loving words you write- sturggles to hope that this class could be transforming to my soul. Funny, every few days, I get back on your site, and look at the class again- often there is this little flutter of hope that tries to take wing. This quickly is overshadowed by words that say “you will never be able to do it..you will always be this way,.. you are too old not a mixed media artist..will fail, AGAIN..”
Originally, I planned on writing about the 2 year season of pain that made me feel like the statue you placed in the shoebox, and that my husband has been out of work for a year becasue of people who could not “look beyond what they thought they saw.”. The reason I am writing is because I am my worst enemy, and I need this class for my well being so that I can learn to love me, just the way I am- even if others choose not to. Whether I get chosen or not, I want to thank you for your transparency- it has blessed me beyond words and made me feel like someone understands. Blessing as you take this journey and help women begin to cherish the body and life they have. Thank you so much. I will be praying for you!
as i read the comments above, i totally relate to each one in some way… we all know how life can be when we are not at peace with our own bodies… seems a little strange that even tho there are hundreds, thousands, of people who feel the same way… still, each one of us feels very alone in the struggle.. how can that be? i feel the energy from the words “body restoration”… body…… restoration…. yes! my story is like any other… born normal… had a great , fun childhood… wonderful parents and a loving grandma who lived with us until i was 18 when she passed away. our family had many wonderful caring relatives and friends…life was always busy with dinners, camping, sewing, building, crafting, cooking, explosive special holidays, and lots more. around the age of 10 i began to put on weight… chubby…. then obese by approx 100 lbs at the age of 24. i married at 20, had 3 children… bla bla bla… and today at 55 years old, with a past of many joys and disappointments, am still struggling to get my weight down… for good! 8 years ago, i lost that 100 lbs…. omgosh! life opened up for me… i was like a butterfly who had come out of her cocoon… amazing… then… a catastrophe happened.. too long a story to get into… the weight came back on. the catastrophe left me with an entrapped nerve around the incision of my tummy tuck… which i have been dealing with for almost 4 years of doctor rejection and pain. presently i am in a pain clinic who will be trying to help me with bio feedback, counselling, physio therapy etc etc.. i am hopeful. at the end of the day…. all i want is my life back.. the one i was living when i lost 100 lbs… the joy.. i cant believe the joy i was experiencing!!!!!! elation!!!!! happiness!!!! pride!!!!! fun!!!!!!! love!!!!!! family!!!!! and my list goes on… i truly would love to let body restoration into my heart and soul and help bring linda back… ahhhhhhhh.
I find this so sad, here I am at 60 years old and I have not made peace with my body. In the back of my mind I’m thinking whatever, your too old now, so what does it matter?! But deep down I still have that voice of hope that reasons it’s never too late and you still have things to learn. I’ve suffered with depression and low energy my whole life. I’ve always thought my younger sister is so pretty and she’s much more accomplished. I started out in my twenties with a thin but unhealthy body. After being put on antideppressants the weight piled on and the struggle became even tougher. I do believe the excess weight has become a protection for me from lifes hurts. I so want to Let Go and Let God!
Truthfully, I could use some encouragement. I lost my husband this past summer and I am still trying to find myself and who I am now.
I would love to participate in this course, but it’s not in my post-holiday budget. I participated in Soul Restoration and found it life-changing, and I would love the opportunity to work on me even more. I have developed a journaling practice that I had previously been unable to maintain, and it has been such a blessing to me!
