WEIGHT
- Lisa is now NSNG
- She has learned how to no longer use food for emotional protection
- She is comfortable with herself, weight is no longer her blanket
- Good support for not using lbs as a protection on the NSNG Facebook page
- A lot of people have sabotaged their good progress as a result of abuse
- Self-sabotaging is pretty common but once you overcome it will feel so much better!
- Now, Lisa has lost a bunch and has made real progress
- Don’t be afraid to make a change
- Easier said than done, but do it one day at a time
- On NSNG, you can eat food, you just can’t eat BAD foods!
