Each day in October I'm sharing a different love letter. Each letter was written with someone specific in mind, but my hope is that these would speak into your heart or be a message that you feel someone in your own life might find comfort, hope, or inspiration through. I've loved writing letters since I was a little girl and so, dear listener, a love letter for you and yours. With so much love, Evelyn (Come hang out with me on IG @EvelynFuson)

I realized over the last month that I've been calling this my "Weight Loss Journey," but that it's actually "My Self Love Journey." In the episode I explore what I've realized about how I want to love and accept myself and the internal work that has brought me to this place. Previous Check-In Episodes: - One Month Check In - Two Month Check In The opening message from @TheBirdsPapaya: Hard truths: I liked being thinner because clothes fit me perfectly. I liked being thinner because men paid me more attention. I liked being thinner because people liked that I was thinner, and congratulated me often for it. ⁣ Everything I liked about being thinner had really nothing to do with my actual body. ⁣ Because I can’t say I ever ended up finding much like for my body after all. ⁣ Everything I liked about being thinner was more about being accepted by others than it was about accepting myself. ⁣ ⁣Which reminds me that when thoughts creep in about wanting to be thinner, and the drastic unhealthy measures I know could take to get there, to pause and reflect that really it comes down to a innate desire to be accepted. ⁣ ⁣So I’m sitting with that today. ⁣ And I have to thank you, for showing me that while the relationship with myself is the core, that I can and will be accepted by people who will see me for more than my body. ⁣ I will find clothes that serve me, a man that gives me the right attention, congratulations for my healing and my purpose beyond my body. ⁣ ⁣Embracing me, an ever-changing, gaining and losing, ebbing and flowing me... has brought about the most genuine of relationships I could ever have.

Wahoo! You're in for a treat today! My guest today, Tamra Lamese, is a certified Self-Love & Confidence Coach. She helps plus-size women realize their purpose and make progress in their lives in order to create unshakeable self-confidence that leads to bigger love, fulfillment, and happiness. Tamra currently resides in Las Vegas with her husband and their rescue dog and cat. Together they own and operate Dozeland Creative. On today's episode we're talking about it means to be plus sized, our own experiences, and ways to learn to love and accept yourself right where you are.  Tamra's gift is the "Plus-Size Wellness Revolution Holiday Survival Card Deck." A note from Tamra: I created this tool for the person who, like me, forgets all of their tools and tricks to take care of themselves when around loved ones. It has reminders on what to do when family comments on your weight, when you get triggered by holiday food, and when you get anxious during the holidays. I also put in some self-care go-tos because let's face it, oftentimes when we get around loved ones we go into care-taker mode and forget that we need to take care of ourselves too, even if we've been good to ourselves most of the year. I also put in a ton of affirmations so that if you need a boost in the moment, it is right there on your phone. I designed it to be downloaded on your phone so you have quick and easy access to it so that when the moment arises, you have support and solutions right in your hand.
