Hi lovely,

 

This week’s ONE THING is emotional.

 

And it might feel heavy at first.

 

But if you’re ready for it — it can also feel incredibly freeing.

 

This week, your ONE THING is to:

FORGIVE ... AND DROP THE WEIGHT OF RESENTMENT

Not because what happened was okay.
Not because they deserve it.
Not because you’re “over it.”

 

But because holding onto resentment is heavy.

 

And you have carried enough.

 

After weight-loss surgery, we talk a lot about releasing physical weight.

 

But many women are still carrying emotional weight:

  • old hurt
  • old betrayal
  • old criticism
  • old abandonment
  • old disappointment

Sometimes it’s a partner.
Sometimes it’s a parent.
Sometimes it’s a friend.
Sometimes… it’s yourself.

 

And here’s the hard truth:

 

Grudges don’t protect you.
They exhaust you.

 

Resentment can feel powerful — like armour.
But over time, it quietly drains your peace.

 

Forgiveness is not reconciliation.
It doesn’t require contact.
It doesn’t mean forgetting.
It doesn’t mean trusting again.

 

It simply means:

 

“I am choosing not to carry this anymore.”

 

This week’s practice — ACKNOWLEDGE · DECIDE · RELEASE

Step 1 — ACKNOWLEDGE

Be honest with yourself.

 

Is there someone you’re still mentally arguing with?
Someone whose name tightens your chest?
Someone you replay conversations about?

 

Name it.
Without minimising it.

Step 2 — DECIDE

Ask yourself:

 

“Is holding onto this helping me?”

 

Does it protect you?
Or does it keep the wound open?

 

You can honour your pain without staying stuck in it.

Step 3 — RELEASE

You don’t have to make a grand gesture.

 

You might:

  • write a letter you never send
  • say out loud, “I release this.”
  • stop retelling the story
  • choose not to rehearse the anger

Forgiveness is often quiet.

 

It’s a decision you make internally — again and again.

A small reflective coaching exercise

If you truly let go of this resentment…
what would feel lighter?

 

Your body?
Your mood?
Your relationships?
Your energy?

 

Sometimes the weight we need to drop isn’t on the scale.

Your weekly mantra:

A note from me.

You don’t have to pretend something didn’t hurt.

 

You don’t have to excuse behaviour that wasn’t okay.

 

But you also don’t have to keep carrying it.

 

Forgiveness is not about them.
It’s about freeing you.

 

And you deserve peace.
