Insights from Laura:

• Your body will tell you, if you will listen, what it needs today.
• Until we get to the root of why we do it we will just go from one thing to another.

You can be free without ever losing a pound and you can be free before you're done losing weight. -Laura Acuna #marthamaryshow #freedom #weightloss #healthyliving #faith Click To Tweet
