In the last decade, the global conversation around health has undergone a seismic shift. For too long, the "wellness lifestyle" was visually codified: green juice, six-pack abs, hours spent on the treadmill, and a wardrobe of matching athleisure wear. If you didn't fit that image, the implication was that you weren't trying hard enough.
While this method works for a short time (the "New Year's Resolution" effect), it is a catastrophic failure for long-term wellness. You cannot shame yourself into loving yourself. You cannot hate your way to health.
Look in the mirror and say: "This is the body that gets me through my life." You don't have to love your cellulite. You just have to respect the vessel that carries your consciousness.
Before you eat, rate your hunger from 1 (starving) to 10 (stuffed). Diet culture teaches us to eat at a 2 and stop at a 7. Practice eating mindfully. Notice how texture and taste change as you get full.
