My Baby Sister’s Wedding
Bride and groom, my brother and I
I'm still landing from my trip to Azerbaijan. What an amazing experience to see my baby sister get married. When she walked into the wedding hall, I just burst into tears. So much grace and beauty... I wanted to share a glimpse of this event with you.
Weddings in Azerbaijan are a big deal. This was an 'intimate' event of 150 people. Lots of relatives and acquaintances I haven't seen in years, friends and even some of my followers.
I must admit, earlier this year, I spent months fretting about my weight. I feared that I'd be on display and people might judge me for my body shape and size.
In truth, I was judging myself and felt like I have failed somehow, because I wasn't the size and shape that people would approve of.
In the past few months, I've done some inner work on myself, releasing all these fears and worries. It's been truly transformative experience and it paid off beautifully.
I walked into the wedding hall radiating presence. I showed up as myself, proud of my body and who I am. I danced with abandon the whole evening. There wasn't a moment I wasted on worrying about how I looked or what other people thought of me. It was so much fun! And it's like my joy and presence were a magnet to others: people kept coming up to dance with me, and the number of people at my table doubled throughout the evening.
Why? Because I was able to make a mindset shift. Without that shift, no matter what size and shape you are, you'd never feel good enough. It's like every goal becomes a moving target. You could always be slimmer, fitter, more cared for...
There's another way though. Imagine feeling happier with yourself, irrespective of how you look.
The level of your self-love has nothing to do with your size and shape. Your size and shape are excuses for your self-loathing, which is to do with some deep wounding from your childhood. Heal that wounding and your relationship with your body and food will change forever.
P.S. If you are ready to heal the underlying causes of your frustration with your body and your dependence on food for comfort, this is your final reminder that I'm starting my 5-week course 'End Emotional Eating' tomorrow 10 October.

Perhaps, you thought about joining this course before, but something is holding you back... Well, if you join 30 amazing women who have already said 'yes' today, you'll receive a bonus masterclass 'Resistance Release' www.gularavincent.co.uk/resistance-release.
The doors to the 5-week course are closing at 9am UK time on 10 October. This is a one-off opportunity to explore this theme with me. I'm not likely to run this course again.
