Do you feel like a failure when your clothes from last season don’t fit?

❤️the guilt that you feel right now is because of diet culture. You’ve been told for years that gaining weight is “bad, “unhealthy,” and a personal failure.

➡️since childhood, you’ve been bombarded messages that weight loss = success, which led you to internalize the belief that weight gain = failure.

🧠 this belief can be hard to unlearn AND doing so will free you from body guilt and shame.

❤️the next time you notice the guilt feelings surface, remind yourself:

✨ bodies are meant to change.
✨a clothing size is a number just like your address or phone number. It certainly doesn’t determine your health or your worthiness.

Do you struggle with all or nothing thinking when it comes to food?

All or nothing thinking sounds like..

🔺”I messed up, might as well eat it all now.”
🔺”I totally messed up my eating today.”
🔺”I ate ice cream so I have to reset and start over tomorrow.”

“All or nothing” thinking is common a cognitive distortion especially among folks who struggle with anxiety and perfectionism.

You might feel like you have to set rules around food so that you don’t mess up or fail.

It’s understandable to feel this way. Our diet culture society taught you that you have to be hard on yourself and set limits around your eating in order to be healthy and worthy.

Chances are though, all or nothing thinking doesn’t actually help you eat in a way that feels good in your body.

And instead it leads to overthinking, guilt, shame, physical discomfort, and low self esteem.

Shifting your mindset around food can not only create more headspace and clarity, it can help you access your hunger and fullness cues so that you’re able to eat in a way that feels good- emotionally and physically.

Which sign stands out to you?

➡️When you struggle with any of these signs 👆🏻it feels really hard to trust yourself.

From a young age you were taught that your body cannot be trusted.

So you may feel like you have no choice but to set limits around what you eat, be tough on yourself, and avoid your trigger foods in order to be healthy.

At the same time, the constant food anxiety has taken a toll on your health.

The guilt, rumination about what you did or didn’t eat, and fear about your body changing is stressful and causing you to miss out on precious moments in life.

Maybe you’re feeling stuck and unsure about how to release food anxiety without giving up on your health.

The truth is, releasing food anxiety will benefit your health in so many ways!

Imagine being able to:
✨order what you truly want at a restaurant without overthinking
✨enjoy a slice of cake at a party and be in the moment instead of thinking about ways you should make up for it
✨eating to comfortable fullness and then moving on with your day!

It is possible to heal from food anxiety so you can trust yourself around food and eat in a way that feels good physically, without a side of guilt and worry ❤️
