Loving the body you live in is one of the most liberating feelings there is. And over the last few years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of women learn to do just that!

Nothing is more gratifying than helping someone break free from things like binge and emotional eating, lack of self-worth, and negative body image. And from there, guide them to find peace, freedom, and ease with their body and their food.

It’s my number one mission in life, mainly because it’s a struggle that I know all too well.

For about 12+ years, I resented my body. I hated how it looked. It made me feel trapped. Not quite the foundation for a loving partnership, right?

And believe me, the strategies I chose to make myself feel better only made things worse.

I forced, pushed, and shamed myself into trying to lose weight. I attempted to control every bite I ate. I endlessly struggled in an attempt to find peace in my body and freedom with food.

You can imagine how well that worked out for me!

But the worst part was my real motivation. You see, I thought that changing my outside appearance would make me finally feel worthy on the inside.

At some point in our lives, most of us women are taught that our worth is based solely on how we look. There’s an underlying message that receiving our basic human needs depends on whether the scale (or the mirror) gives us its approval.

And like so many women, I thought that being seen, heard, and loved depended strictly on my body size. I believed that it if I wanted my needs met, I’d better make sure I fit the world’s standard of “pretty.”

Can you relate?

In recent years, though, the body positivity movement has gotten a lot of attention. Nowadays women are speaking out about loving yourself as you are, no matter what your size.

Overall, I believe that this movement is beautiful at heart.  But everything has a flip-side, even things as well-intentioned as body love.

What happens when you look in the mirror, tell yourself, “I love you just the way you are,” only to have your mind say, “yeah, right!” back at you?

Sometimes, the harder you try to convince yourself that you “love your body”, the more that your inner critic pipes up and says, “no, you don’t.”

Then you feel like a failure because you don’t believe your own words. You get frustrated because positive thinking isn’t doing it for you. Which only makes those negative thoughts even nastier.

It’s like your well-meaning body positive talk becomes a band-aid on a bullet wound. And it sends you down an even deeper downward emotional and mental spiral.

So do you tell that inner critic to shut up and keep pushing the positive words, or will that happy self-talk only add fuel to the fire?

I’m guessing you know the answer there!

What if you could connect with that inner critic, and instead of shutting her down, you could show her a little bit of love?

Today I’m going to show you how to connect with the part of you that secretly (or not so secretly) hates your body. The part of you that fights your progress, hits you with the mental attacks, and drowns you in negative self-talk.

You can heal the part of you that feels unworthy. You can create a partnership with your body rather than living in an constant state of warfare.

It all starts with understanding where that inner critic is coming from, and bringing her to peace rather than bypassing her pain.

When you heal that part of yourself, your confidence returns. You drop the struggle and end the internal body warfare.

And the before you know it, that “body positivity” thing goes from a nice but unrealistic idea to an everyday reality for you!

Let me show you how to get real about body love, let that inner critic speak its peace, and heal that naysaying voice once and for all!

Now, you might think that all you need to do is simply shift from negative to positive body thoughts. But here’s the deal: if all it took was trading the inner insults for warm and fuzzy thoughts, we’d all just do it. And, BOOM, everyone would love their bodies with the fervor of an emoji with heart-shaped eyes.

But we all know THAT never happens.

Here’s the truth: the part of you that criticizes your body is more than just a “negative thinker.”

It has a deep-rooted, visceral belief that your self-worth is determined by your size.

Now, you might be saying to yourself, “I don’t think that way about my body.”  And logically speaking, you’re probably right.

But have you ever had a moment when you’re going through your day, you’re feeling on top of the world, then you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and your heart sinks?

Just like that, you go from feeling like a lioness to a scared little field mouse. And all because you saw a few extra pounds or a bit of cellulite in a quick flash of a mirror.

Those unplanned moments can tank your emotional and mental state in a heartbeat. Which suggests that there’s a little more going on here than mere “negative thoughts.”

We’re talking about a subtle yet deep-rooted belief that you won’t be loved, or have the attention or connection you desire, if you aren’t a certain size.

And here’s the thing: needing love, attention, and connection does not mean you are superficial. It doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human.

We all need connection, love, and partnership. Everyone wants to live without fear of judgment. And feeling empowered in your body is paramount to a happy life.

So let’s get back to how that inner critic cranks up the nasty mind-chatter. When you try to think happy body thoughts but your mind throws them back with a vengeance, think of it as an opportunity.

It’s an opportunity not to judge yourself, but rather to notice where your inner critic might need a little bit of love.

Here’s what I mean by that…

Suppose that you have one of those “mirror moments” and you’re hitting the emotional skids. Do force yourself into stopping the nasty self-talk? Is now the moment to recite a body-love affirmation in hopes of “faking it ’til you make it?”

Honestly, both strategies will probably disappoint you.

If you try to push your way out of a negative thought spiral, you’ll only fall further down the rabbit hole. And if you force the shiny happy thoughts before you’re ready to believe them, you won’t buy anything you tell yourself.

At the end of it all, you’ll likely feel that this “body positivity” thing works for everyone but you.

So how do you stop the shame spiral and get some of that body love for yourself?

The key is to catch the negative thought train before it flies off the rails. And also to be kind to yourself if you can’t turn it around right away.

Here’s how you make that happen…

Connect with the part of you that feels scared, judged, and lonely. That part of you that believes that it has to be a certain size to be loved and accepted.

Meet this part of yourself with compassion and understanding rather than fear and judgment.

Here’s an analogy for you…

Let’s say that you were speaking to a young child, a little girl who confided in you that she’s afraid of not being loved.

What would you say to her? How would you encourage her? What would you tell her so that she knew she was accepted and cherished just as she was?

That’s the kind of care and attention that your inner critic craves. And it’s up to the “grownup” part of you to show your fearful side that everything is going to be OK.

Before you can go from body loathing to body love, you have to start with compassion. You need to acknowledge the parts of yourself that hold those erroneous beliefs. And address those fear-based ideas with understanding and love.

Only then will the negative thoughts begin to subside. And from there, those body-love affirmations will become a lot easier to believe!

I know what it’s like to struggle in this way. For years, deep-rooted beliefs about my body controlled my life. But I used these strategies to heal my inner wounds, and it made body positivity actually achievable for me!

Now, here’s the thing: you don’t have to do a 180-degree turn in one sitting in order to start feeling better NOW. It’s a process, and lasting body love takes time, practice, and patience. But you can transcend the pain. And you can take the first step today!
