5 Steps to Start Loving YourSELF Today with HAES

(YES, Today… as in, NOT “when you lose the weight first”)
First, Let’s talk about weight stigma
Ending Weight Stigma!?
Let me tell you this: You are NOT a number, or a size.
- Respect — celebrating diversity in size, age, race, ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, sexual orientation, religion, and class
- Critical awareness — challenging both the information that’s out there and cultural determinants of health, and valuing your own knowledge of your body
- Compassionate self-care — moving and nourishing your body in ways that bring you joy, and listening to your internal hunger and satiety cues
1. Eat What YOU Really Want To
To do so, I often explore what role food holds in our life, and why we’re so afraid of weight gain… some deep stuff 😉

2. Happy Movement!
3. Talk to Those You Trust
4. Clean Up Your Social Media!
5. Clean Out Your Closet
And Of Course, Be Kind To Yourself…For Goodness Sake!
