It’s Memorial Day and that means it’s the unofficial start of summer.

So by now if you haven’t heard that you can “still be bikini body ready by July 4” you’re probably living under a rock. 

Today’s episode of The Diet Diaries is reframing the “get ready for summer” messaging we hear every year.

Because we do need to get ready for summer—just not by dieting, doing “shred” programs or buying 10 cover ups that we plan to not take off all summer.

We need to have skills in place to deal with all of the negative body image thoughts that come up, to feel more confident doing the activities we love and to find our self worth from something other than what our body looks like.

I talk through 5 specific skills you can start practicing now so that you don’t feel like you have to miss out on your own life because of your cellulite, the way your thighs jiggle or how your belly rolls.

• Focus on the experience
• Normalize what bodies do
• Speak kindly to yourself
• Accept that its ok not to love how you look, to feel self conscious and know that EVERY other woman is feeling the same thing
• Stop using your body to commiserate
