Summary

In this solo episode Mary addresses 3 common fears (or myths) surrounding weight gain inlcuding: "Gaining weight is unhealthy, and losing weight will make you healthier." "If I gain weight, then I won't be attractive (and no one will like me and I'll die alone)." "Gaining weight means you've 'given up on yourself,' 'let yourself go,' or 'gotten lazy.'" These are not true and in this episode, Mary explains why. Note: in this episode, Mary reads to you directly from her book, The Gift of Self-Love. If you want more tools for body-image healing and confidence building, you can get this self-love workbook on her website or anywhere books are sold.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast.
0:08.9	I'm your host, Mary Jolkowski.
0:10.9	I'm an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate.
0:14.9	And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:21.0	Hello, myself lovers.

0:25.2	I want to make sure that you are giving yourself the gift of self-love.
0:29.8	Now, if you don't know what the gift of self-love is,
0:32.2	it's a workbook that will help you build confidence,
0:35.3	recognize your worth, and learn to finally love yourself.

0:50.7	that I teach at my retreats and putting it into this heartfelt, relatable,
0:55.8	and actionable workbook for you. The cool thing is, this book is a combination of me sharing my

1:35.0	design on this one. It makes such a wonderful gift, both for yourself and for your loved ones.
