Today’s episode is a big one, friend — I’m sharing 10 things I no longer do as a body image consultant, and honestly, these were game-changers for my health and healing journey.
We dig into the mindset shifts that helped me break free from diet culture and self-sabotage, starting with the big one: I don’t diet anymore (yep, not ever!). I unpack why dieting can actually keep you stuck in survival mode and how I learned to make choices from a place of freedom, not restriction.
I also talk about why I don’t weigh myself every day, count calories, or judge my progress based on a number. Those old habits used to dictate my emotions and self-worth, and letting them go has been so freeing.
We get real about mindless eating, silencing the inner critic, and why I no longer drink alcohol or use diet medications to try to control my body. Instead, I’ve learned to listen to my body’s signals and treat it with love and respect.
I also share why I gave up sodas, processed foods, and anything that keeps me stuck in a cycle of inflammation, brain fog, and emotional rollercoasters. And finally, I talk about one of the most powerful shifts of all — stopping the habit of tearing myself apart in the mirror.
Here’s the truth: you cannot hate yourself to health — you can only love yourself to health. These 10 changes helped me reconnect with my body, regulate my nervous system, and finally step into freedom.
