The #1 health habit for women that no one considers but that has the greatest impact on our well being is the habit of cultivating a kind, compassion and loving inner narrative. How we talk in the secrecy of our mind generates the feelings we experience towards ourselves. The range of emotions we experience then generate our behaviors. The #1 health habit for women Otherwise, our health habits are generated from the way we feel about ourselves. For many of us who have been under the influence of diet culture the way we think and feel about ourselves isn’t very productive and too often leads to self-sabotage instead of self-motivation.

Anything we teach inside Undiet Your Life is counterculture and revolutionary because that’s what we need as women socialized to diet & wellness culture to liberate ourselves and create our best life. And how we think about health-promoting habits also needs to change. Shift #1 Health is not a moral obligation Contrary to what diet & wellness culture and may have taught you, health is not a moral obligation, just like being in a particular body size or weight. You are free to decide how and if you will pursue health. This shift is most important in our ability to experience ease in creating new health behaviors. Moving from “I have to” to “I choose to” moves us into being in a position of autonomy and power over our reality. Shift #2- Health is more than physical health As women socialize to the thin ideal, we have been socialized that we are our body and that our health is the outcome of our physical body. That leads to poor mental and emotional health resulting in challenging behavioral patterns. Health comprises four bodies: Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical. All equally important and worthy of the investment of our resources Shift #3 Health is not a destination When we move away from health as a signal of our worthiness, we can appreciate our health as a resource. Health is a state of adaptation that allows you to adequately cope with all demands of daily life AND create your best life, the one you choose to live.

Being different in a world that thrives on conformity can be hard and cause a lot of suffering. Have you ever thought: “but I felt much more confident when my body was smaller!” When confidence is shaken by the size of your body, it’s not confidence you were experiencing: it was the safety of compliance. You felt safe because you had the thought you were protected from your fear of judgment and rejection. The Safety of Conformity When you seek conformity instead of accepting yourself and your difference from the “norm” you consistently: watch and monitor your conformity always wonder, “Am I enough?” work harder to meet the norm your happiness and life enjoyment is dependent on what others think of you. Feel constantly anxious… fear of losing acceptance because of missing out on conformity.

I’d love to get you started with a mini-lesson on dealing with weight gain. This is how you set yourself up to be neutral with your body and create confidence, freedom, and ease in your life today, next month, and for the rest of your life. #1-Nothing has gone wrong It’s expected and normal that you gain weight after dieting. Research is clear: the #1 predictor of weight gain is having been on a diet. Your body didn’t wrong you. You didn’t get lazy. So stop the mental self-torture and make a choice: Go back on a diet and commit to being on it for the rest of your life; otherwise, you’ll regain the weight AGAIN. (NB-I can’t help with this choice… preferable that you unsubscribe to my emailing you as this will only be more torture for you.) Accept that controlling the amount of fat your body is NOT in your control and move to step 2. #2-Weight acceptance doesn’t mean giving up Accepting your body weight simply means focusing on what you can actually control. It means making your life a lot easier by reducing the stress, anxiety, and discomfort you experience EVERY DAY. It means taking care of your health in a way that is SUPPORTIVE. Moreover, it means working “hard” but in a new way: in a way that makes you feel better right away. #3-Change the focus The goal you were chasing through controlling your body weight can be achieved in another way. Happiness, confidence, and security are the outcome of what is happening in your mind, not the size of your pants. Focus on mastering your mindset so you can think thoughts that will allow you to access your desired feelings RIGHT AWAY. That same mindset skill you’ll learn is what will allow you to commit to health-promoting behaviors beyond weight loss. #4-Think about food but in a new way Use food to build trust with your body instead of trying to control it. Learn to think about food in a way that will not create obsession and rebellious eating. Learn to eat in a way that will be healthy and sustainable for the rest of your life. Eat in a way that will be easy and respectful of your body. #5-Be radical in choosing love at every corner Learn to RESPOND to fear instead of REACTING to fear. Responding, for example, means when you encounter a circumstance where you feel your body is being judged, instead of reacting and planning your next diet, you instead become curious as to why you felt judged and work on what in you created this feeling of being judged. Meet the desire to starve your body with self-compassion. It will require effort to learn to process fear differently and choose love for yourself, but you CAN DO IT. It’s a revolutionary choice for women to accept their body and weight gain. Everything in our society is built to make it hard for women to be accepting of their body and age, so we buy into the multi-billion $$ weight loss and anti-aging industries. YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS. You’ve been doing hard things your whole life, and this one is no different. I BELIEVE IN YOU and your capacity to do this work. Moreover, I will uphold this belief for you until you build the skill to believe in your damn self. I TRUST you to do this work exactly in the way you need for you. I’ll teach you exactly what you need to know and do for you to know how to accept and neutralize your weight and body with ease and grace. I have done this work for myself and coached hundreds of women to do the same.

Do you remember being told to be a “good girl” when you were young? And praised for being a “good girl” and punished for not being a good girl? Although socialized very early on as women, to be a good girl this socialization is done with good intentions but it leaves grown-up women struggling and in pain. We are told to be: sexy, but not sexual; skinny, but not to be healthy; smart, but not too smart. The contradictory messages are seemingly endless. We have this duality within us... this need to be a “good girl” while needing to be autonomous, smart and independent as adult women.

In today’s episode, I am sharing a message for anyone who identifies as fat and who is struggling with the size of their body, regardless of what pant size they are or how they relate to the BMI. It’s unfair that society doesn’t welcome fat bodies. It’s unfair that regular everyday tasks are more challenging such as shopping for clothes or sitting at a restaurant booth, or that airplane seats don’t accommodate fat bodies. Despite this unfairness, you have a choice. You have a choice to allow these hurdles to stop you from being who you are. The reason I am sharing this message is so that you can see the possibility of what is on the other side of taking responsibility for how you experience fatphobia. What you’ll learn listening to this episode on here is what I want every fat woman to know: The surprising truth about fatphobia Three simple steps to changing how you experience fatphobia What’s possible for you when you choose how you’ll experience fatphobia Mentioned in the show: Undiet Your Life Coaching Program Quiz: Is It You or Your Diet?
