The Real Deal On Body Acceptance
So I think it’s time to get some clarity on what body acceptance really is, what it means, and why it can be so healing for all of us. Of course, I can’t speak for everyone’s experience of body acceptance, but this is the way I understand it if we break it down into the simplest terms.
What It is
Body acceptance means, as much as possible, approving of and loving your body, despite its...

Diving into your most beautiful you | Rosie... →
Our bodies are not who we are. We are a compilation of our heart, our soul, and our mind. Our bodies are simply vehicles that take us through this life, that allow us to experience this world, and each was chosen, through genetics, for our particular journey. Today, think about how much you are experiencing because of the hard work your body does. Appreciate it.

(They can also help to regulate your blood sugar, if you want to...
Dyamond in the Rough.: My body is perfect.... →
The most recent advice I have to give you and myself: Give up everyone else’s definition of perfection. Crumble it up. Burn it. There will always be someone who thinks you should look or be different. There are some who say my body is perfect. There are others who always feel the need to make me feel like I need to change the way I look and fix myself because they are not happy. Create...
The Body Positive: How I Learned To Ditch Dieting... →
Then, recently, it hit me: Intuitive eating means eating what works for my body! (Yes, I realize this is perhaps the most obvious sentence ever written.) It’s not boundary-less and it’s also not riddled with “rules.” It’s a middle way, which as someone who has lived most of her life in the black/white zone of dieting, comes as quite a relief.
