So what's in less coverup clothing anyway, most of us just want to look good in clothes ha.ha.
The eating 6 times a day is supposed to keep you from getting hungry? We'll there is no such thing as weight loss without getting hungry, everyone just needs to realize that, and go thru the hunger pang session, until their stomach and brain realize that the new lesser portion size is the new norm, and then and only then do the hunger pangs stop.
Who are we to say who looks good or doesn't look good in a bikini? We don't want to be judged but we're very quick to judge others. It's something that we women are taught to do, self critique and critique others and it's unecessary completely. It's a habit I have had, along with all women I bet but I'm slowly and surely retraining myself to not attack a woman based on her appearance.
There is weightloss without hungry, but we should never strive to be hungry. Hunger is a natural signal given to us at birth for a reason. How would we know to eat if our body doesn't signal us? I agree with you that we need to not fear hunger but rather use it as a tool to meet our own needs. Unfortunately many people override their hunger signals in either 2 ways:
1. They overeat, undermining their hunger signals because they want to eat to fill emotional needs, and try to supress their discomforting feelings with food. Thereby ignoring their body's natural hunger/satiety regulation system.
2. They undermine their hunger signals through dieting, putting all their trust into someone else telling them when to eat, how much to eat, what to eat and what not to eat.
Both of these reasons cause us to completely disconnect with our body taking us further and further away from our own needs. Hunger is not scary once you really learn what it is, how it works and give it what it's asking for.
