Embrace Your Real

Fad Diets can be tempting! But as we all know, these diets can be detrimental to both our physical and mental health. In this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast, I'm going to discuss strategies for overcoming the urge to join the latest fad diet so you can finally get the results you desire and have a long-lasting healthy relationship with food and your body. What I discuss:

1. Ditch the all or nothing mindset and instead of focus on developing a balanced mindset.
2. Focus on eating the RIGHT foods, NOT eating LESS food.
3. Focus on creating a lifestyle, not temporary habits.
4. Focus on how consistent you are being, not how perfect you are being.

Where does your poor body image kind of stem from? When did you begin to develop this negative view about your body and why? At what age did you start to view kind of your body negatively or differently? Did something happen at that time that triggered you to change the view that you have about your body? If we want to change the way we feel about our bodies, the first step we should do is to determine where it all began. We need to know the root cause, because those roots are causing more and more weeds to grow, per se, and if we pull the roots, we can stop more weeds from growing. This is the third and last part of the series of Where Your Body Image Issues Stem From by the Embrace Your Real podcast. I'll dive into where your body image issues could have potentially stemmed from and why you're holding on to it today. What I discuss:

1. How we look at other people.
2. Not accepting the natural build of our body.
3. Forgetting what our bodies are meant to do.
