You are enough.
It’s true.
Just as you are, right this minute, you are enough as you are.
However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stop trying to better yourself, or to become a healthier version of yourself, mentally and physically. But you CAN learn to do these things with LOVE for yourself.
Body positivity and striving towards our healthiest weight/self don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Why can’t we learn to love our bodies as they are now why trying to eat healthier, work out/move in a healthy way and strive to be the best versions of ourselves but done with self-love and not self-hate?
I’ve had a client with weight related health conditions follow body positivity pages and declare she is going to work on body acceptance, and stop with any form of ‘dieting’ or even ‘exercise’ and just ‘be’. Fine, in theory, as I’m all for body positivity, self-love, self-acceptance and the normalising normal bodies in the media movement. However, she came back to me a year later even more unhappy with herself and another 15 kgs overweight. So I ask, why can’t we merge the two? Why make the word ‘diet’ such a sin, because that’s what is often needed ‘a healthy diet’, if we improve the nutrition, we don’t just look better, but we FEEL better. Who doesn’t want better energy and improved sleep, and then let the rest follow ❤️
It’s not a sin to want to improve your eating habits, and whether thats via intuitive eating, counting your macro’s or following a supportive more structured plan like ours. It’s whatever works for you! We are all so different, and at different weights with different issues! So let’s all stop with the judgement, and learn to do whichever path we choose with love for ourselves and respect for other peoples choices.
