Hey, hey beautiful human. Can I steal five minutes of your time? I have something super important to share with you, but I promise I'll be really quick.

You're listening to my weekly bonus episode of Embrace Your Rail with me, Julie Labbetter. I'm about to give you a quick

tip for building your confidence, honoring your body and unconditionally loving

your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace a reel. let's get it, let's go. Hello, and I back to another bonus episode. I have spent years helping others

achieve their fitness goals. I've talked about workouts, healthy eating, habits

to help people build the body that they want, but it's time to take a step back and

talk about something as equally important.

What happens when we stop obsessing about these things? Like what happens when we stop obsessing about these things.

Like what happens when we stop obsessing

about the weight loss or trying to be so consistent

in our health and fitness journey that we never miss a day and we can't

miss a day what happens when we stop feeling like we constantly need to change our body.

If you're new to the podcast I'm going to get very honest, very

real with you right now. I may seem confident now in my body but for a decade of my life

I was one of those people that obsessed about every minute

thing in my journey. I was constantly counting calories, I tried all the fat diets, I spent hours, seven days a week in the gym, all in pursuit of this perfect, unattainable body.

But despite all of my efforts, I was never actually happy with my life, the way that it looked.

And truly, the more weight that I lost, the more weight I still thought that I needed to lose. It was like this endless

cycle that I just couldn't get out of. I was 5-9 and 120 pounds a size 0 trying to get down to a double zero like I always felt like I could do better be better look better and it wasn't until I started to let go of my obsession with this trying

to be perfect in all of these areas and trying to attain X Y and Z so strictly that I wasn't enjoying my life, that my life actually

truly changed. It wasn't until I let go of that that I truly started to change.

So if you are someone who is completely obsessed with weight loss or, you know, living in this weight loss mode for years or even longer than you can remember.
