There are a million reasons to optimize your health…and fat loss is just one.
"But Tara, aren't you really into body love and body positivity and body neutrality…?"
YUP!
"But Tara, are you saying it's ok to want to lose excess body fat too?"
YUP!
"Ummm…is that confusing?"
Nope! I mean, typing this email in the third person in hopes that it's as entertaining to you as it is to me right now is a little confusing. But fully embracing body love / positivity / neutrality alongside believing wholeheartedly that we all have the right to choose whatever goals we want to work on for ourselves? That's not confusing to me in the least!
If you want to hear 12 minutes of my thoughts on the topic, check out this recent video.
Or, just understand that fat loss is just one of many reasons to optimize health. Fat loss is not particularly motivating either in the long-run. So, if you want to stay in the game for a while, you may want to consider chasing some additional goals. I just saved you the 12 minutes. You're welcome. :-D
If you fall in the camp of women that do have fat loss as a goal, but also would like to focus on feeling better, improving your energy, and living long enough to watch your grandkids drive your own kiddos crazy, leave me a comment. Tell me your goals. The simple act of writing them out and sharing them with someone (me!) will help you to get started.
XO,
Tara
