    Repeat after me: I don’t have to love my body to Repeat after me: I don’t have to love my body to respect it. Body love is NOT a prerequisite for care or respect💟
.
If you have been at war with your body for years, the idea of moving towards body love or positivity might be a big jump. Instead, how about moving towards somewhere in the middle and focusing on body neutrality, appreciation or respect? Body respect is key because we can’t take good care of something that we don’t respect.
.
Rather than feeling like you need to or should love your body…what if you could care for it and honor it’s needs? Some examples of body respect include:
.
- Feeling grateful for your bodies abilities
- Regularly nourishing yourself with meals and snacks
- Honoring your hunger and fullness
- Wearing comfortable clothes that you enjoy
- Regular medical checks, person hygiene and taking medications/supplements that are needed
- Not comparing your body to others
- Gentle movement that feels good for your body
.
Working on body image - in addition to your relationship with food - can be a difficult process. It's therefore helpful to get some outside support and work with someone to guide you through the process. I work with clients to provide one-on-one support, helping them make peace with food and their bodies. I’d love to help you too!

    PSA: YOU NEED CARBS🧇 Your brain actually 🧠 u PSA: YOU NEED CARBS🧇 Your brain actually 🧠 uses glucose (which is broken down from carbohydrates) **exclusively** as fuel. Contrary to what those who promote “low carb diets for health” say a meta-analysis study from 2019 found that those eating the lowest amount of carbohydrates had the highest risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke. Instead of limiting carbs, they should should actually make up the majority of your diet for maximum functioning (roughly 45-65% of total intake, varying depending on individual). 
.
More specifically, for our brains to function optimally you need AT LEAST 130grams of carbohydrates per day. To put this into a fact that is easier to visualize this is equivalent to 8 slices of bread!
.
Fearing carbs is a common theme I see among my clients when we begin working together…(i.e thinking “carbs are bad” or “carbs will make me gain weight” thanks but NO thanks to diet culture speaking under the guise of “health”.
.
Instead, restricting carbs to “feel in control” of your health typically has the opposite effect and makes you feel like you cant control yourself during the times you do “allow them” (which makes total sense due to a scarcity mindset). You may subsequently eat carbs larger quantities when they are available out of fear of not knowing when you’ll have access to them again! 
.
As noted above - our bodies and brains NEED carbs to run efficiently. Plus carbs are delicious and avoiding them takes the joy out of food! And while it is true that some carbs are more nutritious (oatmeal, quinoa, whole wheat etc), whereas others are more so considered “fun” foods (cookies, cakes) - a balanced and satisfying diet includes ALL of the above as there is a a place for all foods in your diet if you want to include them and they make you feel healthy & happy!😊 
.
Moral of the story: stay away from any health professional that offers fear-mongering “health” advice & tells you to avoid one of our bodies main and most important energy sources. All 3 macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat) are important and required to create a balanced diet! Drop your favorite carb emoji below!🍿🍰🧁🍎🥧🍇
    The messages we get from society/diet culture that The messages we get from society/diet culture that “thinner = better” come from all directions (family, friends, healthcare, the media etc) and are extremely harmful to the way we view our self-image and worth. Additionally, these messages focus on weight as a proxy for “health”, when in reality so many people that pursue the thin ideal do so at any cost and often at the expense of their health (both physical and mental).
.
Changing harmful messaging in out society starts with ourselves and by examining our self-talk and the conversations we have with have with others. Start by thinking about how you think and talk about your own body as well as other people’s bodies. What sort of thoughts or talk do you notice? When examining these thoughts try to be gentle and come from a place of curiosity and compassion instead of judgement❤️
