When you are able to shift your mindset or reframe your negative talk about your body, celebrate! This is exciting! This leads to change. Celebrate your wins - celebrate any little wins.

So you are unhappy with the way your arms look in that shirt today, but can you focus on the fact that your arms carry your toddler and 6 full bags of groceries all in one trip?! That is #winning right there if you ask me 😉

Be kind - when you notice a negative thought, try to be kind to yourself.

Challenge yourself to question the negative thoughts towards yourself. (Or at least I hope not!) Take on more of a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset.

Shift your mindset - what are your goals in life? Are they to hate yourself? Likely, not.

What are your triggers? Is it social media? Is it another person? Be curious, and take notice.

Observe yourself - notice when you start to critique yourself.

So how do you go about accepting yourself when you’ve been critiquing yourself for the past 10-20+ years? Well, you’re in good hands because I am a recovering perfectionist/critiquer 😉įive tips for accepting your body to make positive changes in your life This is about finding peace with yourself.

I’m not saying that the second you accept being a size 10 instead of a size 6 means you will suddenly lose 15 pounds. When you finally accept that the “skinny” jeans you have in your drawer don’t fit, and you won’t be a better person if they did, you have the freedom to make choices that actually lead to a better life. This is me lamenting with you because I am human and I certainly find myself doing this as well.īut the funny thing is that when you find acceptance, even if just a little bit, you are actually able to let it go. So why oh why do we insist on constantly critiquing ourselves? If you quit stressing about the extra baby weight, is that going to make more pounds appear? If you quit hating your legs, is that going to make them get bigger? Now, we won’t get into the fact that I think the goal of weight loss is a unrewarding goal (that doesn’t actually lead to weight loss), but let’s take a moment to consider what giving up disliking your body could do? You think that if you accept or even like your body, it means that you are giving up on your health goals. If you’re like about 90% of women, you are unhappy with it. So let me ask you… when was the last time you had a positive thought or even a neutral thought about your body? Hating your body isn’t going to make your diabetes disappear. Whether it’s people I am working with, friends or even strangers, so many people are talkin’ smack about their bodies.īut here’s some real talk for you today: hating your body isn’t going to make you skinny. One of the things I hear all too often is about how unhappy people are with their bodies. (PS- she makes a blooper video every week and it’s one of my favorite things to follow, check it out.) You can follow her at Living Well Kitchen, on Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. Her personality is infectious and I’m so honored to call her a friend.

I sat next to her at a press dinner a few years ago and was in tears from laughing so hard by the end of our meal. You know those people that you meet in life and instantly click with? That’s Meme. Most of those will be new recipes, with a few articles in between.įirst up- my dear friend Meme on acceptance. You’ll still see the same posting schedule- Monday, Wednesday, Friday that we’ve been doing for the past few years.

I’ve been working ahead for a few months to share with you some awesome Fall-inspired recipes and asked my favorite RD friends to also share their intuitive eating thoughts. Essentially, I decided to find a balance, or as much of a balance as I can.

Do I stop posting for a few months? Do I pop in every now and then with updates? Working for yourself and trying to schedule a break is both a pro and a con. I’ve been trying to grapple with what taking time off during this important time actually looks like. Hi friends! Well, I’m currently on ‘maternity leave’- whatever that means.
