Freedom should be a daily experience an decision. I should learn to listen to my body and be free to eat whatever I want, in moderation. Intuitive eating is what it’s all about. I should pair this with striving for a healthier mind and spirit. Freedom is bringing all these together despite whatever life sends your way.

I find that I have a different result: I am better on the weekends because there are fewer distractions. During the week, I have work, family pressure to get things done in a small window of time, bills, housework… Just too much stuff. Weekends, I get up when I want, I plan what I eat. I have time to decided when to move.

Cheers,
Missa

Freedom is being able to just live life without thinking every minute about food. That was such a gift.

These days I just continually try to release myself from worry. I tend to be a worrier and am trying to free myself from that.

You can make all the plans and goals you want, but life doesn’t always work out by those plans. Being mindful and taking tiny steps each and every day is what works. That’s FREEDOM!

Loved this Jules! It is so true!

Kind of a basic for me – exercise. It will be raining here Sunday on my outside jog day. Usually I would just jog Saturday instead but I really noticed that my bod needs a break so instead I will do something but less hard on my bod. This is a big step for me because I am one to NOT want to take off from my routine! So my small step was doing as I tell others to do.. I am listening to my bod say rest a bit more!

Hello, Jules;

I read on Rachelle G’s blog that you are writing a memoir. You might want to read the posts at http://aspiringwritersofnonfiction.blogspot.com/.

Be blessed,

Yeah – it’s a good intended thought, but freedom isn’t everything. I would love to be able to trust myself on the weekends, but the fact is – I can’t! Great reminder – have a fabulous weekend!!

Great post. I tried the Body for Life program before and it allows you a day each week of gluttony too if you want. As you might guess, it didn’t work for me one bit.

Freedom to me is more about how I feel about myself. Freedom in my head and in my heart for how I look at myself and how I feel about myself. When I’m doing the things that I know are good for me, I feel alive and energetic and powerful. That feels like freedom.

My BIG tiny step every day is to speak my gratitude for one thing out loud every morning. Can be the same thing or a different thing but every morning I pick something to be ridiculous grateful for and I say thank you for all the joy and peace and freedom and support and love it brings me.

Like Stephanie commented, I get into trouble with the cocktails as well. They add calories and lower my resolve. Thank you for the reminder, I vow to do better this Friday!

Weekends are always my downfall. Everything I do during the week is so structured, but friday night hits and the drinks start flowing. Down hill we go. I need motivation to move my butt on the weekends.
