This is a
Love Letter
to My Body.
I hope this letter speaks to your
heart and you get to feel (and see) the changes that have been made
in my own and others lives and be inspired to make changes of your
one.
Dear Body,
I have realized it is
time. I have finally made a decision to make some changes and begin
to embrace you, my body as my friend and co-travellor in this journey
of life. To see you as my companion if you will. For some time now I
have remained silent, becoming ever more conscious of the fact that I
have been at war with you. I have punished you harshly, deprived you
and scolded you unfairly. I have also begun to see that there is
another, a more simple way to move into harmony with myself, to make
the peace I have longed for and allow it into my life. This internal
change has now been moved into the everyday world where I can see
practically that I can live in harmony with myself and nature at at
last bring the balance I am seeking.
"Radiant You" To
me these word brings forward the qualities of both FUN, EASE and
RADIANCE, this is not about denial or being boring. These were the
qualities I wanted to focus more on in my life. As a woman I work
hard. I give my time freely to my family and friends, often when it
comes to me and my needs the tank is empty. Too many times, I miss
out completely, mainly as a result from the choices I make for
myself. So I have decided, thats it, theres the line in the sand. I
am closing the door on this way of living. I want a richness in
life, a life that feeds the feminine aspect of me, a life that feeds
my mind, body and spirit.In short, a life that nurtures me which then
brings my best to offer life, my family, friends and most
importantly, MYSELF.
All through this I have
wanted to say, I Love You, I Want to Be Your Friend and Chief
Supporter in my life. The struggle and the war are finished. I want
to thank you for being there for me, and keeping going when it looked
a rocky road ahead..Lets sit in the sun and relax for a while
together. Phew what a relief!
I saw this journey with my female
friends. So I created an online virtual fully supported program
called "Radiant You, The Smart Woman's Guide to
Weightloss, Balance and Self – Care" program. This
is a fully supported virtual, 30 day program with weekly food menus,
recipes for the week, ½ hour support call per week and motivational
emails daily. There is also unlimited email support during the week
to assist my clients to make the necessary changes in their lives.
I offer some testimonials from former
clients who have become raving fans:
D, 43 Flight Attendant
When "D" came to me for
assistance she was looking to make changes in her eating, weight and
wellness. She provided me on day 23 of the program two pictures (see
below) that say it all really."D" has decided to remain on
the program until she has reached her own personal goals.
"Even though my 30 days is nearly
over, I know this is the way for me. I dont even miss
sugar. Never thought I'd say that. I
also realise I have probably like alot of people being
rewarding myself with food over the
years. Now I think about what I put into my body.
And my body changing is rewarding me
instead."

F, 49, Interior

After having a sister diagnosed with
breast cancer and high collesterol readings of her own "F"
knew it was time to change. "F" decided to take the
"Radiant You"program and a year later has lost 15 kilos.
"F" loved the program so much she has maintained this way
of eating even when cooking for family and friends (It is doable) and
still achieved this success.
