Balanced Emotion Body
Be Happy In Your Own Body
Are you struggling to conform to an “ideal” shape or fitness level?
Have you tried all the diets and exercise schemes? Are you frustrated with the diet/fitness/clean-eating culture? Do you find yourself inhabiting a body that is larger after a weight-loss/body-shaping attempt?
Are you looking for a solution that allows you to love your body and be comfortable in your own skin—while looking in a mirror?
Once you have accepted that
Intentional weight loss does not work. Restricting calorie and nutrient intake only throws our body into starvation mode. This includes creating a calorie deficit through exercise. To get us out of that danger, starvation, our body will pull us back and add a few pounds. Our body reasons that should we meet starvation again, the extra weight will help us survive. The only thing diets are good at is helping you GAIN weight in the long term.
There is nothing wrong with being large-bodied. Internalized body image is a much stronger predictor of health than actual body size or BMI. Weight stigma has been shown to pose a greater risk to your health than what you eat.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying food or using food to celebrate or as a coping tool. Food is at the center of every aspect of our lives. Denying the pleasures and comforting feelings we get from eating is to disown our biology and culture.
The problem isn’t our body—it is how we are taught to feel about our body and food. Weight stigma and fatphobia that is pervasive in our culture stress us out, drive up cortisol (the I’m hungry hormone), and keeps it up.
It is unbelievably challenging to live in such a diet/fitness/clean-eating culture and not fall prey to its constant barrage of misinformation.
Fatphobia affects how we:
buy, prepare, and eat our food and why and how we exercise,
construct our self-image and value ourselves,
internalize weight stigma through self-talk and negative affirmations,
are perceived and treated by others,
negotiate physical spaces (move through and sitting in public areas),
shop for comfortable clothes and feel about the size we wear,
perceive media stereotypes and compare ourselves to the “ideal,”
avoid medical care and receive lower-quality services when we do step into a medical provider’s office.
It affects us by triggering unintegrated emotions from past high-stress life events. Sometimes, the emotions are felt—we recognize an emotion is present in us. Often, the emotion has been pushed down for so long that we don’t “feel” it. Instead, it shows itself as a behavior: trying to control our body through restricted eating or excessive exercising, avoiding conversation or situations, transferring disappointment or anger inward, etc.
It is time to love yourself, your body and your food!
