How To Love Your Body

Welcome to another episode of How to Love Your Body! Today we are going to be doing a quick coaching episode on something that comes up a lot as we enter into warmer weather- also we’ll be sharing about a really exciting giveaway so stay tuned until the end to hear how you can enter!  "It’s so hot but I’m scared to wear shorts and sleeveless shirts."  We get it! It can be scary to go out of your comfort zone AND you deserve to feel comfortable on a hot day and not suffer in warmer clothes.  The thing- most likely people don’t even care what you have on.  We had a woman tell us that she was so scared of exposing her arms and would always cover them up in sweaters. She lived in NYC and during the summers she would sweat like crazy because she wouldn’t allow herself to wear t- shirts.  One day she said screw it and decided to wear a tank top that day and as she got on the subway and sat down she realized not one person even looked at her. Everyone was just going about their own day.  She kept wearing shir

Welcome to How to Love Your Body, today’s episode is a tool you can use to find WELLNESS without the obsession. This is one of the 5 “wellness without the obsession” tools we coach you through in The UnDiet Academy so those in the program know it well but we wanted to share the basics of this tool with all of you so you can use it now. A lot of women get stuck in knowing how to introduce wellness without it getting diety again. AND most women DO want that. Being an UnDieter doesnt mean only eating the foods you didn't used to allow yourself to eat. It’s about honoring your body, mind and soul so you can live a life of wellness without the obsession. Nutrition is a part of this. But when we say nutrition you probably start to think, points, macros, calories or cutting out specific foods. NO! There is another way to consider nutrition without it being rigid, restrictive or unenjoyable. NOTE: We only recommend getting into these kinds of tools once you’ve done the mindset work of freeing yourself from t

Want to find YOUR true definition of wellness? You can go right to the podcast episode. LISTEN HERE. On this week's episode we are talking about redefining wellness (and doing it in a way that feels great to YOU). What is your definition right now? What comes to your mind first? Something that may have popped into your mind: Wellness means - chicken and broccoli, going to the gym everyday/ workout programs, drinking special shakes, being on a meal plan, staying away from carbs and sugar. Going gluten free (even without an allergy) etc. What is your definition now? Where did that come from? Is that what YOU truly believe? Is that what you want your kids to believe? Is this something you want to bring into the next phase as an UnDieter? If you stripped down everything and started with a clean slate, meaning: It’s as if you never learned anything from diet culture (as if it didn’t exist)- You didn’t have predetermined opinions around body size, beauty, weight, working out, food, etc. Imagine yo

Today we are talking about the true way to achieve balance. We like to call it the pivot and push. Have you ever been a dieter who said, “I just want to lose x amount of pounds and stick to my diet” and THEN I’ll be balanced. From experience and from coaching many women we have never come across anyone who was restricting, on a rigid meal plan, and then after their 30 day detox was up they all of a sudden became a balanced eater where they went from eating no dessert or carbs for 30 days and then could easily eat them sometimes and feel really balanced about it. That’s just not how it works- if you have an unhealthy relationship with food- dieting and restricting is not going to magically change that into a place of balance and feeling sane. Even when you let go of the restriction - just DECIDING to now be balanced doesn’t create freedom because old ways of thinking and diet mentality will take over again if not healed. So here’s how you can achieve TRUE balance: First you must pivot. This means making

Do you struggle with emotional eating? Emotional eating is the tendency to eat in response to positive and negative emotions. Humans will do anything in their power not to feel uncomfortable, so to make it go away/ distract themselves many people turn to food. In this episode we share the spectrum of emotional eating - there are different levels and some are healthy and some are not as self honoring. This is to say that some emotional eating is completely healthy and normal, but there does come a time when it can be destructive to your relationship with food and your body. A first step is to assess where you are on the spectrum. Normalizing emotional eating is definitely something you'll want to do - you may be in a place where accepting the emotional eating that is happening, is the best next step. Dieting/ the desire to eat less/ “food is fuel” narrative has demonized all emotional eating when in fact it’s just a part of normal eating…. But yes there are times and degrees of emotional eating that you

What is shame, why do we feel it about food and our bodies and how can we get out of it? If you've ever read any of Brene Brown's work you might have learned a little about what it is. She defines shame as "the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging – something we’ve experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection."  When we feel ashamed about what we're eating, how we're eating (hello, binge eating) or about our bodies we isolate ourselves and dive into a feeling of unworthiness. In this episode we will be exploring why we feel shame when it comes to food and our bodies and how to release it so you can move forward with more peace around your relationship with food and body.

This journey has a lot of stages. There are the early days. You just found out about Intuitive Eating. You know you've reached diet bottom but are unsure of really what to do. You may have even read the book Intuitive Eating and it makes so much sense doesn't it? I mean, clearly the meal plans and the strict rules aren't working. They leave us binge eating, obsessing over food all day and feeling out of control. So, yes - listen to your body, let IT tell you what to do, eat, how to move. This seems doable. But here you are with the mind of a dieter and decades of dieting habits ingrained in you. So you start TRYING this Intuitive Eating thing.  You tell your friends you're trying to stop the diets. You over eat at lunch and you promise yourself you'll try harder tomorrow. The trying stage is the first step. Then there's the doing stage. This is where you really are committed to never dieting again, you mean business. You are taking action - using the tools of Intuitive Eating, listening to the be
