realize that you have nothing to fear from knowing the truth.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am Elizabeth Benton. This is our consistency 365 series.

These are many episodes that air between our full length Monday and Saturday episodes to help you just take a minute,

break out of the routine of your day and say how can I make

today a little bit better than tomorrow.

One of the things that I used to avoid like the plague was checking my weight.

And this was a thing when I was at my heaviest. I would

cancel doctor's appointments because I didn't want them to check my weight and I

would say I'll reschedule it when I've lost some weight or when I'm in a healthier place or if I did have to go to the doctor

I'd say don't tell me just don't tell me my weight.

And then I would avoid buying new clothes or clothes that were fitted. And the thing is, we don't have to fear

knowing the truth. In fact, the only thing we have if we know the truth is more

information that we can use to help us. It doesn't become any more real. I see a lot of people

do this with their finances. They avoid opening that credit card

statement or looking at the bank account balance and it doesn't become more of a

problem when you know.

You now have more resources to attack the problem.

You have nothing to fear from knowing the truth.

I had to tell myself this over and over again, especially when it came to my weight, that, hey, we don't

have any bigger of a problem when you are able to assign a number to the size of your body.

Nothing changed.
