Are you tired of the endless cycle of dieting and body dissatisfaction? This episode is your invitation to a transformative journey toward self-empowerment and bodily confidence—no diets required. Through the lens of embodiment, we discuss how you can rekindle a harmonious relationship with your own body and boost your overall well-being.
When I decided to walk away from diet culture, my mindset was wrapped up in the idea that I needed to fix myself plus I had all these thoughts that I wasn’t good enough the way that I was.
The root cause of my problem was my unwillingness to acknowledge and feel all my feelings, especially the ones that made me uncomfortable. I had this fantasy that I absolutely believed in that once my problem (weight loss) was solved, everything aspect of my life would be perfect and I wouldn’t ever have to deal with my negative emotions.
Wanna know how to start recovering from chronic dieting?
First, you have to recognize your diet mindset and how it shows up in your life and decide to walk away from diet culture.
Second, learn about intuitive eating, and adopt a more neutral attitude about your body.
Next, introduce mindfulness to help you stay in the present moment instead of constantly thinking about the past or worrying about the future.
Then, start practicing self-compassion and curiosity instead of judgment.
