Your Body Belongs to You. How to Get Off the Diet Train Once and For All.

Send us Fan MailIf social media were to be believed, everyone is on a diet.  No judgement here, believe me.  We live in a dieting culture - it is the air we breathe and the sea we swim in.But we are shrinking ourselves in more ways than one, at a time, where we need to take up space and stand up to the establishment, not cower under it.Alok Venom: "I belong firmly and irrevocably to me.  Once I began to realise that this body is mine,  other people's appraisal of it became irrelevant."Ela and I have both stopped pretending that this diet culture noise doesn't affect us.  Yes, we care about how we look, but as Stefanie Michele mentioned on the podcast last week, we now refuse to give our appearance so much power.How do we encourage our clients to do the same?  Staying on the 'non-diet' train takes work, determination, and an ability to sit with some discomfort. The non-sexy option?  Maybe.  But cultivating a good relationship with our bodies is invaluable.  Listening to our body's cues and nourishing them, rather than punishing them, will help to build that body respect, trust, and eventually acceptance.Take care of yourselves.  It's tough out there. x Support the showPlease reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement.
