Our voice, and our actions, become our children’s voice and beliefs about themselves. ⁠
⁠
When we show them they can’t be trusted with food- they learn they can’t be trusted with food. ⁠
⁠
We do this in many ways, but one of the most common is with sugar and sweets. ⁠
⁠
A child who believes they can’t be trusted, becomes an adult who tries to control their intake, restricts, binges, and harbors guilt and shame. ⁠

🤍Your body is showing up for you, every single day.

Our bodies are sacred and resilient and deserve the best care possible. 

❤️‍🩹We’ve had some major health challenges in our family recently. It has deepened my gratitude for the quiet ways our bodies consistently show up.

Bodies can carry us through grief, through healing, and even through the unknown.

If you’re struggling with body image, pause and ask:

❔What has my body carried me through?

You don’t have to love every part of your body to honor it.

You can start with noticing.

You can start with gratitude.

💚 Your body is worthy of care, just as it is.
