I Started Dieting In 2nd Grade.
That was the first time I remember being told I was too big and too much, and I believed the message
A lot happened between 2nd grade and adulthood, so let’s fast forward to about five years ago …
I remember sitting in an energy healing session having done some deep work on body image. I was talking about all the diets I’d done and the new one I was about to go on. The practitioner asked me a question that really propelled me forward on my journey. She asked, “If you do this diet perfectly and your body still doesn’t lose weight, can you love yourself?”
I wanted to lie … I even thought about it. But the truth was right there in my throat waiting to be said. “I don’t think I fully can because I really feel like I have to lose weight”
I didn’t know it then, but I had a fully transactional relationship with my body. Lose weight = good body, I like you. Gain weight = bad body, I hate you.
I had no idea I could find a middle ground. A space where I was neutral. Just in relationship with myself (body included) – learning to be with myself without picking apart every perceived physical flaw.
This Was The Beginning.
I Broke Up With The Toxic Cycle Of Chronic Dieting That Day.
Truth was, I was fucking exhausted. I’d tried it all. Some of it multiple times. I’d lost and gained hundreds of pounds and felt like shit at all weights.
So, I started a different journey. One where I focused less on carbs, calories, cardio and crucifying myself anytime I gained a pound …
… and focused more on wellness, nourishment, mental health and learning how to live in peace with my body.
The Other Day, I Walked In Front of My Mirror NAKED.
I glanced at myself and thought, “Oh, that’s my body … as it is today.” then I kept walking.
If you’d asked me 5 years ago if I ever thought I could look at myself naked and NOT spiral into hate and shame, the answer would have been no.
But, today, I can tell you it’s possible. I’ve found a kinder gentler path and I’m so grateful I took the first steps down it.
