Skinny Myths: Unplug from the Lies

By Laina Joseph

Become your own Myth buster!

Many of us have been on a weight loss journey for years, even decades! We have put off goals and dreams for when we reach that magical number on the scale. Imagine my surprise when I achieved my “ideal weight” but my life did not look as different as I had hoped. I felt as if I had been lied to. What gives?

Whether you struggle with weight or not, this book is for all who seek to shift their mindset to focus on what really matters in order to get clarity and results in all areas of your life. It explores the fantasy life we think a skinny body will provide and then we smash it with a dose of reality.

The good news is that we don’t have to wait to craft the life of our dreams. In this book you will find:
25 common myths on being skinny
Insights from someone who’s been there and back
A guided journal for self-reflection and discovery

Perfection doesn’t exist. Take back the narrative and reclaim your story!

I am a writer, teacher, wife, mom, stepmom and self- avowed “blerd”. I am also an adventurous, part time hobbyist who has been a coach, belly dancer and Reiki Master. I believe that the title of "Mom" should be incorporated into the woman, not eclipse her. I use manifesting principles to create and transform my life. I am quirky but practical and have found navigating motherhood to be the biggest adventure of all. I am sharing my insights and journey in a blog. Come join me at: https://thelainiway.com/
