We all criticize ourselves way too much.

We judge ourselves, blame ourselves, and get stuck with the resulting shame and regret. 

Do you really want to get off the continuous dieting? Be kinder to yourself, celebrate all your successes and cut yourself some slack for any setbacks. No one wants to be around a cruel leader, right? So don't be one!

One of the most harmful things we can do to our bodies is “go on a diet.” You're already on a diet. Your diet is the collection of all your eating habits. 

It includes how you make food choices, which choices you make, how much you eat, and whether or not you address your emotions attached to food.

Why do we crave the so-called "unhealthy foods"

We didn’t evolve as humans with a desire for eating healthy foods. We evolved as a species by eating nutrient-dense foods to survive.

Hey come on, please be kinder to yourself, okay?

One of the most harmful aspects of modern dieting is the toll it takes on your self-esteem. Your body is biologically driven to survive. But, psychologically, we’re programmed to eat food for cultural, and emotional reasons. The fact is, food is necessary for survival.

Just relax and take a step back for a moment

If you find yourself having one of those internal monologues or conversations with yourself, and what you’re hearing is hurtful and cruel, it’s time to take a minute and step back. 

Okay, first thing is, just stop it!

The basic truth is that most of us could do with some adjustment to our bodies- or at least we think we need it. What we need more of though, are healthier relationships, a healthier mental attitude, more personal kindness, and acceptance of who we are right now.

Be kind to yourself, starting right now!
