Well, it’s Memorial Day Weekend, and in memory of those we have lost to obesity and all of its manifestations, I want to ask everyone who reads this to take a moment of silence to think about the long and healthy life that lays ahead of you – if you choose to have it.
Envision it, if you can. You stand at a fork in the road every single day of your life. On one side is the path you must walk to be healthy. There are living foods to pick and eat, there are issues to be dug up and disposed of properly, there are hills to climb and rivers to swim in order to be strong and lean. It is not easy. On the other side is a trolly. You don’t have to walk, and there aren’t any living foods -- because the trolly goes to the drive through every day. There aren’t any issues to dig up, dead dreams and old resentments simply litter the countryside everywhere you look.
This is certainly too simple a picture to paint, but don’t kid yourself, it is accurate. Your choice at that fork can literally eat you alive. You are honestly worth the hard work and the joy that comes from choosing that path to a long and healthy life.
Start this moment. Don’t celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with an endless stream of self hate (disguised in boxes and bags of fat, salt and refined sugar). Instead, celebrate Memorial Day Weekend with the beginning of your new lifestyle and your new life journey. And believe me, once you start down that road, you are like the leader of the band – a parade of your family and friends will follow you. They will applaud your changing body, and they will embrace and share in many of the new foods and new activities that start to fill up your time – and your heart.
If you need help to get started on that path and leaving a poor body image in the dust while your at it, call me at 415-464-1234 – I will be happy to point you in the right direction and to avoid a few of the roadblocks along the way.

About Me
- Body Image Mastery, Laura Fenamore
- I became a leader on the transformational movement because I believe that anything is possible, that no matter how trapped or powerless a person might feel, it is what they do, that will set them free. I believe that each of us has the right to a radical life shift every single day. My own began when I understood that the only person who could truly love me was me. Although I was neglected and abused as a child, I saw clearly that I could use the rest of my life to love and take care of myself – and to inspire others to do the same.
I am not saying that other people cannot love us, they often do. I am simply observing that a person without self love is like a hidden treasure. You cannot see or feel the miracle you are, even when others adore you or want the best for you. Who you are is locked away in some Tower or buried under years of pain and self loathing.
If you’re ready for a Radical Shift – more than ready – reach out to me at 415-464-1234 or laura@laurafenamore.com and we can talk about where to find one and how to open your arms wide for the possibilities and hope locked inside you. Those bars that imprison you are, after all, only an illusion.
