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
