Happy Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day!

This week we are especially proud to be Texans.

Just a few days ago, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against social media influencer Brittany Dawn Davis and her business for misleading thousands of women about their nutritional care. Davis promised personalized nutritional guidance and individualized fitness coaching, but instead delivered one-size-fits-all weight-loss plans with little follow-up, often to people who told her they had eating disorders.

“Diet talk” comes up so often in social situations.

Somehow it weaves its way into conversations, questions, and stories, oftentimes without us even realizing it. Diet talk is sneaky – it comes up when you least expect it. Sometimes it disguises itself as a joke or a compliment. Regardless of how it manifests itself, it is almost never helpful in the road to recovery. That’s why we’re here with tips to help ditch diet talk this year.

Here are a few tips to help you today to stop fighting against your body. Please check in with your dietitian and make sure of the steps on your journey too.

How do we stop fighting against our bodies?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Be Kind⭐️⭐️⭐️

We all have bodies that we live in daily and this is a different experience for everyone. We are all figuring it out (how to be ok in our human suit) - what would it be like to be kind. Kind to ourselves and kind to others. Being kind to our own bodies can feel and seem very foreign if you have never tried this before, so play around with a few ideas and see what resonates with you.

⭐️⭐️Notice when you are not kind
⭐️⭐️Flip the script from negative to kindness
⭐️⭐️Just breathe and be

Your to do list for the day:

Break up with the itty bitty S%$$* committee
Those negative voices in your mind that pretty much tell you that everything about your body and you is wrong, yep that voice - It’s time to break up with that one! I know it might be hard because that voice sounds so real and honest. How could it be wrong?! Guess what, that is not serving you in the slightest way. It’s time to ditch that negative voice that has not served you!

How?! (I can hear your questions about just how you go about breaking up with that voice!) Just like any break up, it takes some convincing to see how this is not serving you and takes some courage. What would it be like to ignore or ghost that negative voice? Every time it starts, shut off the CRAP - You just ignored or blocked it! This will take time, practice, and working with your dietitian can definitely help with even more tools to help you break up with the itty bitty s%$$* committee.

Tip 1 to help you to STOP fighting your body

Recognize what your body does that we can’t see
Did you know your body is doing a TON of work without you having to lift a finger? YEP! Right now, as you are reading this, your body is doing the breathing, blood pumping, digesting, healing, etc., without you having a clue. Millions of biochemical reactions are going on… How freaking amazing is that?!

No matter how negative you may feel towards your body, it showed up for you - it has your back. Body trust can be re-established by eating adequately and regularly, with nourishing, satisfying food our bodies are asking for.

The days are getting longer, hotter, and we are all starting to come out of the COVID hibernation, which can lead to a lot of internal negative self-talk about our bodies. That itty bitty, S@%%& 🤬community in our head can have some serious pull even when we have been working on it for a while.

If all the dietitians at iLiveWell could wave our magical wands and fix this for each of you, we would. And the honest truth is…. It takes time and practice to trust our bodies when that trust has been missing for a bit.

Over the next few days, we will be sharing some posts on how to help you today to stop fighting against your body. Please check in with your dietitian and make sure of the steps on your journey too.
