As in so many areas of Ayurveda, the process of arriving at a healthy weight begins by learning to listen to your own inner wisdom. When do you really feel your best? When do you feel most energetic? When do you look at yourself and like what you see? Honest and heartfelt answers to these questions depend on your ability to distance yourself from the guilts, worries, and criticisms that are constantly associated with the issue of weight in our society. And once you begin to understand your body's true needs, you'll be able to fulfill them without stress or a painful sense of self-deprivation. You'll even enjoy an occasional chocolate sundae!
