It’s Here: A Life-Changing Audio Program Like No Other!

“With All Her Money, Supporters, Contacts…
Even Oprah Struggles With Her Body Image!
What Hope Is There For The Rest Of Us?”

Like it or not, negative body image is a big, painful issue for millions of women, celebrities or not! Research tells us that over 90% of women want to change something about their bodies, and most women are embarrassed or ashamed of their bodies.

These ideas are so widespread that most people think that’s just the way it is. It’s become normal for women to:

• be on and off diets
• complain about their butt, their boobs or their belly
  
• obsess about every bit of food they put in their mouths
• set their mood for the day based on the number on the scales
• look at photos of their younger selves and sigh over how lovely they were, but they didn’t know it then … and they don’t feel it now!
  
• wish for a new nose, fewer wrinkles, fuller lips… and….
• waste a whole lot of time, life, money and energy doing it!

Well I, and 12 leading experts on body image, in this unprecedented event, am here to tell you this: It might be USUAL for women to feel uncomfortable or downright embarrassed about their looks – but it’s surely NOT normal!

We can reclaim our body image, starting now, Because
The Revolution Begins With You!

What do I know about any of this?

I am Sandy Kumskov, an Australian Holistic Counsellor. I specialise in helping women come to peace with their bodies, just exactly the way they are, right here, today. But not only that……

I’ve been where you are.

You see, I was a really skinny kid, all bones and angles. My nickname was “Skinny”, or “Bones”. If I’d been a kid just 15 years later I’d have been living with the tag “anorexia”, though I ate what I wanted, when I wanted to, and as much as I wanted to! I was not unhealthy, that anyone knew of, just *really* skinny.

I grew up thinking that the way I looked was not good enough, never good enough, and would never change.

How do you think that affected what I thought about myself?

Exactly – in my mind, NOTHING about me was good enough. Oh, I hid it by poking fun at me before anyone else could, spending a lot of time on my own, and I became a really good student because I could hide in books where I could become someone else, someone who was enough.

But the truth was, I hurt, and I was so ashamed of the me that the world saw, that I never said a word to anyone about it. Is that better, or worse, than growing up a fat kid? I really don’t know… but I do know that….

Then it got worse.

When I hit puberty, it seemed that overnight my body changed shape and to my horror, red lines started appearing on my skin: stretch marks. Imagine what that does to a 13 year old living in a world where “perfect”is the way women ‘should’ look? I thought I was a *freak*. And so started my life of *really* hiding from the world. I’ve told the rest of my story elsewhere, it’s not so different to yours, probably, so I’ll just fast forward past years and years of yo-yo dieting, underachieving, making *really* dumb mistakes, depression, birthing two gorgeous children, to age 32, and to a suspected tumour on my thyroid gland. Two days later a very skilled surgeon was taking it out and thank God it wasn’t cancerous (but it was a leftover from that skinny kid’s suspected Graves disease, 25 years later!) But the scare of it made me go

- whoa – what am I doing??

That was 1994, and short of turning up at a psychologist’s office every week, which I wasn’t interested in doing, I found only occasional books (like Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth) to find the support I needed to turn that around. But I still felt so bad about my so-imperfect body that I had to keep looking! With only half a functional thyroid, my weight was wacky, my moods wackier but I refused to take thyroid-supplementing medication because it shuts down any thyroid function and then you’re dependent on the stuff for life (good for the drug company, not so good for me!

Then I had a car accident, and gained a new challenge: a whiplash injury that laid me low when I did the simplest everyday things! Suddenly I had more to worry about than the size of my belly or my bum!

The Next Three Years Were Dark….

Battling constant pain, I wore a path to the physical therapist’s office for three-times-a-week treatments for months. The pain flared with the slightest exertion and I live in terror of moving the wrong way and triggering it again! I lost the respect of friends who thought I was a lazy b***h because I was so protective of my back injury. The stress caused a downward health that eventually put in me in front of a homeopath and Bowen therapist, and my life changed! Now I was a different woman: my body was bigger than ever (perhaps a side-effect of pain-killing medication, perhaps of stress), I’d been in a deep dark depression, I’d stopped doing any kind of regular exercise because moving hurt, and my digestion was shot from the pain-killing medication. It was a miracle I was still married and that my kids still loved me – what a roller-coaster!

But as the natural therapies I was now using started me really healing, I realised that some of the ideas in The Beauty Myth had sunk in, my thinking about my body had changed and I was just beginning to come to some kind
of truce – but not yet peace – with my body. Then one day, browsing in my favourite bookshop, I found a cookbook that helped me take the next big step! It was Cyndi O’Meara’s Changing Habits Changing Lives cookbook – it certainly changed mine and my family’s habits and our lives! It loosened up some of the good-bad low-fat low-carb blah blah “rules” I’d taken on over the years of trying one diet program after another.

I returned to the good home-cooked natural healthy unprocessed food my granny and mother had taught me to enjoy and prepare. I started to feel healthy, strong, clear – better than I had in years! And I clearly saw that the destructive, life-limiting messages of the body-manipulating, dollar-extracting, weight loss industries were louder and more strident than ever!

Enough was enough!

I knew I wanted and needed to do something LOUD to help myself and other women break free from the lie that our bodies are not good enough. I went back to school, around working full time and a hubby and two great kids and community commitments – and became a holistic counsellor. I finally sorted out my own negative body image issues! After I graduated I found my way to helping other women find peace with their own bodies!

But still, there is so much noise and manipulation of women’s feelings about our bodies, that I felt incredible pressure to do something more to bring in some balance, to help women get that garbage our of their heads and allow themselves to trust their own intuition again!

Andrea:
Wow! The benefits of this series are unmeasurable. Me and probably many of the listeners have learned so much from every person on each call. The big benefit I got from it personally was that everyone spoke so open hearted, and that if women put their power together, they can do great things. We are perfectly imperfect! I’m looking forward to being part of the next series!

And Then One Morning ….

I woke up with this idea: to bring together leading thinkers, teachers, authors and speakers on transforming negative body image and women’s health, in a format:

• that all the women who needed to listen, could hear, no matter where they were
• can be accessed anytime, anywhere
• can bring together the wisdom of women in a harmony of ideas that could only bring transformation
• and that you can read or listen to without taking time off work or arranging someone to sit your kids, pets, or spouse!
  

And naturally the first woman who came into my mind as a guest on this series was Cyndi O’Meara, because I knew she could help YOU as much as she helped me. When she said YES I literally jumped for joy!

I wish I had you to listen to when I was a girl. I’m lucky to have the best from both sides of my genetic code, but even with that it doesn’t stop people from picking on the strange girl who doesn’t fit in to any group. I always felt as if I was apart, and didn’t belong. I’m still working on that today, but at least I’ve found acceptance of my body. You will be a light of hope for so many girls. Thank you for sharing. ~Kimberly

But Cyndi is only ONE of the amazing, smart, funny women, all experts whose wisdom on women, our bodies, and our lives, can literally awaken your spirit, unleash a new you, and expand your horizons! I spent literally weeks researching for just the right combination of experts, women who understand what it’s like to face and conquer the body image demon, women who will NOT lecture you about counting calories, working out to burn fat, weighing your food or obsessing about every thing you put in your mouth. I’m betting you already know how to do that! And, you know it doesn’t work for long!

Finding These Elite Experts Was Tough!

No – the women I found in my weeks-long search are way past that time-wasting, spirit-whithering nonsense! And believe me, they were hard to find – there is SO MUCH noise about the count-weigh-measure-burn-slice-inject industries, that I was disappointed time and time again when I really investigated the work of the hundreds of body image “experts” I tracked down – shockingly often, they were weight loss coaches dressed up as size diversity or health advocates.

Okay enough reading – where do I click? Right here:

You can now join a very select group of thought leaders, spearheading this movement that is shifting us to a powerful tipping point where we simply love and accept ourselves and our sisters for the sheer wonder of our human bodies:

• whatever lumps and bumps we do or don’t have
• whether anyone else thinks they’re too big or too small, too floppy or too saggy
  
• regardless of our wrinkles and crinkles!

Sarah B.
I really like that you asked each participant how they felt about their own body, now I know I’m not the only one concerned about this issue – it’s so empowering to know you’re not alone.

	Cyndi O’Meara International speaker and bestselling author of Changing Habits, Changing Lives Not your typical nutritionist – in fact you might say she’s a revolutionary – Cyndi disagrees with low-fat, low-calorie diets, believes chocolate can be good for you and thinks eating yummy food is an important part of a well-balanced diet.

	Elizabeth Patch Author and Illustrator of More to Love Elizabeth Patch’s story is simple and touching: a high school art teacher who struggled with her own eating disorders, she watched in vain as a favorite student died from anorexia.

Karen
All of the speakers seemed so honest and real, they had really lived what they spoke about. I was so glad to hear women accepting the fact that they do not have to be pencil thin to be healthy and beautiful!!! I was also glad to see the emphasis on health and not so much on “diets” – eating healthy makes us healthy –we feel better and feel like doing more and getting physically fit which helps us be mentally and spiritually fit as well! It’s good to see that there are so many people who realize that the additives in our food are major contributors to poor health and obesity.

All of This Is Yours When You Say YES to YOUR Body Image Revolution!

Saying yes if often the most difficult thing on our journey to change. But when you take that first step… when you say yes… you open the door to possibility!

How long is it since you put yourself first?

If you’re like most women, you might not even remember when your children, your spouse, your friends, your family, your work, your community commitments, DIDN’T come first. That’s what we do, we try to please everyone and our lives can be hectic trying to keep up with what everyone else needs… But if you’ve ever taken a flight on an airline, remember how flight attendant says “In the event of an emergency, put the air mask on yourself before you help anyone else”. That’s because if you don’t take care of yourself first, you will have nothing left to give to anyone else.

Leanne:

Day after day I complain to my husband about the belly left after 5 pregnancies and a back injury. He continues to tell me how beautiful I am, to love myself as I am, that it’s okay if I want to make changes, but to do it for myself in a positive way. Not until I listened to your message did I ever think of it as a negative body obsession. Never did I think about it as a detriment to me and what I accomplish day after day, how much some of the enjoyment of life goes away for me and my husband because of this obsession with my body. The problem has not magically disappeared, but now I am at that next level of being consciously aware of what tearing myself down each day is doing and must move forward to a more positive relationship with myself and my body. Thank you for everything you shared.

It is hard for us to stop, take time for ourselves, relax, and think about what we need. But, what you’ve been thinking and trying and learning has taught you to criticize and judge yourself, mercilessly probably. There is absolutely no reason that you need to keep hurting, no reason to keep waiting until you have the “perfect” body to start living your life! Now is the time to do something different, something that will help you cut loose from the distorted messages that the weight loss industry has fed us all for years, and help you find the you that you deserve to be, and that the world so badly needs!

If not now… then when?

So take this first step and invest in yourself – you’ve got absolutely nothing to lose and a whole life to gain!

To your transformation, peace, and loving relationship with your beautiful body….

PS. You’re here for a reason: you know you’re ready for a change that only you can make, and that the speakers you’ll hear here are part of the support that we all need to make that shift. I am so grateful that you are here and am so looking forward to hearing from you inside the Body Image Revolution.
