Its all about intention ⬇️
You can come at weight loss or getting healthier from the place of self control, where you are making all these changes because of fear and scarcity and what you ‘think you should do’
or
from a place of self care where you are looking after yourself because you want to feel good and you want to enjoy your food and stop controlling it.
You can track your calories because you need to restrict and you have to lose this weight in a week and you feel you have no control if you don’t do it this way or you can track your calories because you like data, it helps you to know what you are eating and make room for more of the foods you enjoy.
You can meal prep because you want an easy life and don’t want to be cooking dinner every night or you can meal prep because you need to know how many calories are in every single meal you eat.
You can say no to a cookie because you just don’t want it at this moment or you can say no to a cookie because you think you will gain 10lb’s from one cookie.
Your intentions matter.
If you want to lose weight to feel better in your body or about yourself, and you are doing it by making a few habit changes and not obsessing about it then this is self care.
If you want to lose weight because you think you should and you can only do it by fear, control and restrictions this is self control.
Self control makes life way more difficult and unenjoyable
Self care makes things easier and full of joy.
Which way do you prefer?
