Losing weight isn't just about the diet itself but also emotional and overall wellness. Self nurturing is an essential part of feeling good about yourself and will in turn translate into weight-loss goals.

In our current time-scarce world, time for yourself may seem like an impossible goal. Do you ever feel like you can't get through everything you need to every day, never mind make time for yourself? Many people do, but self nurturing is required for physical, spiritual and emotional wellness. Self nurturing is not a luxury but a necessity. If you are not able to take time for yourself, and fill up, what quality of yourself are you able to offer to others?

Self sacrifice and putting your spouse, family, job and friends first may work in the short-term; but in the medium- to long-term, it may lead to you becoming overwhelmed, stressed, depleted, angry and resentful. This may lead to eating poorly, or even ‘comfort eating’.

Self nurture enables you to recharge yourself so that you are in a much better position to cope. It is good for your immune system, good for your relationships and good for yourself. You choose what to prioritise and what to commit to. In the busyness of your life, it is essential for you to schedule in time for yourself.
