Are you tired of starting over every Monday?
Mondays often mean "get back on track," but what does that really mean? Often, it implies returning to restrictive diets or meal plans that don't address the root issues of our relationship with food.
Here's why this mentality doesn't work:
- Restrictive and Unrealistic: Diets and strict meal plans can lead to feelings of deprivation, guilt, and frustration. They don't teach sustainable eating habits or help you understand your body's needs.
- Misses Emotional Eating: They don't address why you eat, just what you eat. Emotional triggers and non-hunger eating are left unexplored.
- Focuses on External Validation: Success is often measured by weight or appearance, not overall well-being.
So, what can you do instead?
- Embrace Intuitive Eating: Focus on listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and honor your emotional needs without judgment.
- Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself when you slip up - remember, it's a journey, not a destination.
- Let Go of Diet Culture: Break free from the cycle of restriction and guilt. All foods can be part of a balanced life without moral labels.
Let's celebrate a journey of self-discovery and nourishment, not restriction.
