WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT YOU

Wear clothes that are comfortable for you. Wearing too tight of clothing just reminds you of the unrealistic thin ideal that you’re “failing” to accomplish.

STOP COMPARING YOUR BODY TO OTHERS

You don’t know anyone else’s story.They may have the “perfect” body but you have no idea what’s going on inside them. Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. All bodies are beautiful.

PRACTICE SELF-LOVE ACTIVITIES

Replace critical thoughts with loving thoughts. Do something nice for yourself, write down positive things about yourself, place a sticky note with a positive message on your mirror, get enough sleep, go for a walk.

GET SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT

Ask for help when you need it, whether it’s asking your family, spouse, or a trusted facebook group for support.  find people who understand your intuitive eating journey and build an environment that will support you.

STOP USING THE SCALE TO MEASURE PROGRESS

Weighing yourself can cause anxiety and bring negative self talk. Squeezing into skinny jeans from when you were a kid doesn’t help either. Measure progress based on how you feel, how happy you are, how energetic you feel.

FUEL YOUR BODY

Give yourself permission to eat. Throw out the diet behaviors.  Nourish your body by eating a well balanced diet so you can get the nutrients you need to thrive.
