So you've started on a body positive fitness journey, and you're setting goals that aren't related to shrinking yourself! Congratu-freaking-lations! That is heckin rad, and I'm super proud of you. It's hard as hell to break out of the mainstream fitness and diet culture that pushes you to endlessly try to shrink. Now that you've started moving your body and are trying to make it about feeling good, it might be hard to figure out how to set goals. Here's a few ideas to get you started.

2/16/2022 0 Comments It's Official!I've completed training with Evelyn Tribole to become a certified intuitive eating counselor! I'm really psyched for this addition to my qualifications, and I can't wait to be offering some new intuitive eating services through Enlighten Well. The training process was pretty long, and I learned a lot from it. I actually got to do part of my training with Evelyn, and I totally had some fangirl moments. I also completed some supervision sessions, which were very informative.
I started practicing intuitive eating for myself about three years ago, after my last diet left me feeling crazy, deprived, constipated, and malcontented. It had been a long road to that point, and I hope to never revisit it. Intuitive eating changed my life, and I an really proud of myself for taking this step towards being able to offer this to you. Subtitle: Do I overthink shit? Yes, yes I do. ![]() I'm currently training for a powerlifting meet, and I've been noticing my legs and shoulders getting more muscular and defined, and liking the change. It got me to thinking, can you be "body neutral" and like changes that come to your body from working out? Like many things, the answer is a bit nuanced, so I answer with a "Yes, AND...."
Like I said, maybe this is overthinking. If you think I'm overthinking, that's fine, but I KNOW that some of you are worse overthinkers than I am. I know because I've talked to some of you. When I find myself getting stuck on a weird thought like, "Oh no, is it okay to like how my legs are looking?", I find it helpful to explore it a bit with more questions. All the questions. |
