Body Grief

Body grief is certainly understandable. And we must work to live in the present body we have, in order to have respect for our bodies.

Longing for a different body for your whole life will only lead to grief and regret. Learn how to have gratitude for the body you have now. Unconditional acceptance of your body allows you to live in the body you are in NOW.

We are way more vulnerable during the summer months, than we are the rest of the year. In summer we may have an unpredictable schedule. The heat and humidity are high in the mid-Atlantic, and this can lead to feeling less comfortable in your body. Also, the only way to get more comfortable on a sensory level is to wear less clothing. For some folks, this puts even more discomfort on an emotional level. Some of you spent time with family, which can be a whole mashup of enjoyment and discomfort.

There are lots of reasons you may not be feeling well right now, the diet/wellness industry KNOWS this. And they are ready to sell you the “magic” that will look like every other package of nonsense you’ve been sold. The only difference will be that your bank account has a lesser balance.

SAME SH*T, DIFFERENT YEAR

Intuitive eating and a focus on body respect can help. If you’d like to be kinder to yourself, honor your body for all that it does for you, step away from the mirror, and get more in your body. Let’s start looking for more space in our heads.

Please note, that this is not a plan, a diet, a lifestyle, a program, or a protocol. This is about treating your body with respect.
