Give your body what it needs 🩵

Went from being obsessed with tracking my calories, not doing it in a healthy way, losing all of my muscle, to eating whatever I want, gaining my muscle back, and trying to heal my relationship with food.

It’s not worth spending your life worrying about food. Putting myself in such a low calorie deficit not only ruined my relationship with food but it also ruined the way I view my body now.

Life is to short so eat that cookie and feel good about it and stop worrying about what you are going to see on that scale. Rather have healthy fat on my body than feel like i’m sitting on rocks every time I sit down ☺️🫶

Hope this helps one of you guys 🩷

... Read moreMany individuals struggle with the pressure of strict dieting and calorie counting, often leading to a negative relationship with food. It's common to find oneself trapped in a cycle of restriction and guilt, which can impact not just physical health but also mental well-being. Instead of fixating on calories, cultivating mindfulness and listening to your body's natural hunger cues can lead to a more fulfilling approach to nourishment. It’s vital to allow yourself to enjoy the foods you love without fear or remorse. Treating yourself to that cookie with joy, rather than anxiety, can significantly enhance your relationship with food. Understanding that healthy eating includes indulging in your favorite treats helps create a balanced lifestyle. Remember, a healthy body comes in all shapes and sizes, and self-acceptance is key. In recent years, movements promoting body positivity and self-love have gained momentum, empowering people to embrace their bodies while advocating for a healthy mindset around food. Engaging with supportive communities and sharing experiences can also aid individuals on this journey. So, take the step towards healing your relationship with food—your body deserves kindness and respect!
