Gifts are on most people’s minds during the month of December. In the hustle and bustle of buying, wrapping and unwrapping gifts, take some time to think about that gift that is YOU! You ARE a gift! Your unique combination of talents, traits, and attributes deserves acknowledgement. From yourself! The examples of yourself as a gift shared in this podcast episode is worthy of self-reflection. Bariatric patients are easy to criticize themselves and often struggle to acknowledge their inner beauty. Give yourself the gift of recognizing yourself as a gift… a gift for yourself and to others! That’s a whole lot of repetitions of the word “gift.” How about giving the gift of letting others know about the BariAftercare podcast and the complete BariAftercare program, which can be found at www.bariaftercare.com. Information from this podcast was borrowed from the websites listed in the show notes for this episode.
