Disordered eating and eating disorders travel down the family line … and so does healing, and it starts with us, today. 🌱

08/12/2023

A gentle reminder from a dietitian .... your body is not the problem.

For years whenever I felt a big emotion I instantly blamed my body ... or my eating for causing the distress; but now I know my body is not the problem, it never was.

Our bodies are just easy targets to condemn; because in some ways it is much simpler to blame our bodies than it is to dive beneath the surface.

But actually we can use these negative thoughts as a messenger that something else needs our attention, our nurturing, our curiosity.

Because buying another diet plan won't heal trauma, going back to tracking your food intake won't allow you to process emotional pain and signing up for a transformation photoshoot won't heal heartbreak.

The problem is not your body.

We delve into this more with my amazing client who shares her journey of recovery after a 20 year experience with binge eating on the latest The Nurture Circle podcast episode 24 (link in bio). 🌱

Home 🏡

Six months living at Strawberry Tree and getting to renovating this farm cottage has been such an adventure and a huge privilege … and we still have a whole load of magic to create.

The cottage was originally built around 1900 and we wanted to restore it back to its original character, the plan has always been to do it slowly and gently whilst upcycling / re-using as much as possible and learning new skills along the way, (my plastering needs a lot more practise!). I think there is something really special about giving “things” another life.

In the depths of my eating disorder I couldn’t imagine a life that existed beyond obsession and control … but here we are, and I promise … it is SO worth every bit of discomfort that recovery brings.

Take what you need 🌱

We see alot about loving our bodies, but sometimes this feels too alien, too much; for many of us body respect, body acceptance and body neutrality is more accessible.

To live within our body without judging it, without hating it nor the pressure to adore it.

To stop putting excessive time and focus on our bodies so we can give our time and capacity to things we truly enjoy.

We can do this by swapping objectification to functionality. To stop thinking about how our legs look and rather notice and appreciate how they allow us to walk, run and dance.

We can do this by taking a daily or weekly moment to appreciate our body.

“I am grateful that my body danced in the kitchen with my husband, rocked my baby to sleep and carried my shopping in from the car”

We can do this by counteracting any negative self talk with neutral affirmations.

“I don’t need to feel attractive all the time to enjoy my life and relationships”.

We don’t go from hating our bodies to respecting them over night but we do with consistency, patience and time. Gentle gentle gentle.

I don’t want to be a supermum. I want to be a fun mum, a joyful mum, a present mum, a rested mum, a snuggling, cuddling, tickling mum, a well nurtured mum. 🌱
