Diet Mindset v. Nourished Mindset
What’s the fastest way to burnout? OBSESSING about food, your health and your body.
I had a conversation with a friend over the weekend and we were discussing how the biggest downfall to everyones health starts with a stressor. We asked each other when shit hit the fan and we both had the same realization.
It started when we became obsessed with our bodies, the food we ate and put constant pressure on ourselves to look a certain way. This is a theme that pops up with almost every single one of my clients.
Girls going on atkins, low carb or becoming vegan at the age of 9! Please, if your daughter is doing this, it’s a HUGE red flag.
One day you are just sitting by the pool, eating a hot dog and freeze pop happy as a fucking clam and the next you are analyzing every imperfection in your body and trying to find every way to “fix” it.
The healthiest people are the ones that have never dieted or had poor thoughts and feelings around their body and the food they eat.
Dieting and negative thoughts around food and your body are on the TOP of the stress scale.
Why? Because every single day you are bombarded with fake social media bodies and people judging you or telling you you should look, how to eat and what not to eat for “health.”
You are constantly thinking about food and your body from the time you wake up until you go to bed.
My life’s mission and why I created this page and my business is to help you understand your body better and see through the bullshit you are being fed.
If you were to die tomorrow what would you see? Certainly not all the times you obsessed about the way your body looks or the food you ate or all the fun you missed out on due to it.
I see my husbands smile, all the amazing adventures I have been on, my cat laying in the sunshine, all the incredible memories I have made and the thousands of women I have helped. Not that time I starved myself for the sake of loosing 20 pounds.
It’s one thing to want to want to live a healthy confident life, it’s a whole different story to be destroying your body and giving up joy for external validation.
What age were you when you first started having negative thoughts about your body and food?
