Love Yourself
By Meggan Larson
I see you mama. It’s nearly Christmas and you’ve given up losing weight this year and you’re putting on a brave face for those around you. You got some clothing as an early Christmas gift and it was much larger than you were expecting but to your dismay ~ it fit. You’re baking cookies for the kids and eating them without feeling because you just don’t care anymore and feel that you deserve to be fat anyway.
I see you mama and I’m here to tell you…
…that you’re not alone.
I’ve been you, I’ve felt that despair, and I’ve sunk into that depression. The best advice I can give you on this Christmas Eve eve is to just love yourself. Love yourself right there in that kitchen while shoving raw cookie dough in your mouth. Love yourself as you put on that XXL Christmas flannel to take a picture for that well-meaning relative. Love yourself as you force that fake smile onto your face when the family is around, and love yourself when you cry in the closet alone. Love yourself just as you are right this minute. And come January 1st, love yourself enough to change.
How long has it been girl? How long have you been wanting, hoping, and praying to lose weight? A year? A decade? It’s been long enough, don’t you think? I could be wrong but I feel there’s a special anointing in the year 2020. I think that it’s the year that will change everything. That we will look back and say “yes, that’s when it all changed.” Don’t you want to be one of the people whose lives are radically different at the end of 2020? If your answer is emphatically yes then it’s time for you to check out the LIVE mini-series-“Release the Weight from the Inside Out” click the link to join the Facebook Pop-Up group!
I’m telling you, it’s the answer you’ve been praying for.

Meggan Larson is a wife, mom of three, and challenge overcomer! Being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and undergoing aggressive chemotherapy when her second born child was only three months old, gave Meggan an expected twist to her life. Dealing with pregnancy weight gain and the debilitating effects of chemotherapy, Meggan’s weight soared to over 228 pounds. Feeling humiliated with no desire to socialize, Meggan was desperate for a change. Shortly after losing 20 pounds with the Trim Healthy Mama program, Meggan found out she was pregnant with baby number three, which ended in an emergency C-section and unexpected hysterectomy. Despite the challenges she faced, Meggan has just celebrated her one year “trimiversary”, and her success of releasing just over 60 pounds! Meggan is confident that her success on plan is “doable” for anyone looking to gain back their health and wanting to live a trim and healthy lifestyle!
