Diet culture taught us to mistrust our bodies. But what if we chose reverence and grace over control and guilt?.

Explore why the fantasy of being thin can feel more powerful than reality—and how constant longing keeps us from truly living.

The Body Police Quiz is a playful take on body image—and a nudge toward silencing your inner critics and seeing yourself differently.

Do you feel driven to be physically active? You may feel in total control of what you are doing and others probably envy your "dedication," but deep down you don't really have a choice, you must exercise. It is as if you are addicted to exercise. And you are probably fine with this, even if it interferes with your life.

Do you try to change your eating, and then feel like a failure when you don’t succeed beyond the initial enthusiasm? If you make plans about your food and eating that are actually out of reach, those plans will eventually become a source of frustration.

It can difficult to quit eating when full at first; however, the accompanying negative self-talk only makes it much more difficult. 

Recovery from eating and weight issues is not a destination. It is not a place where you arrive one day and finally “get it.” If you see your healing as a destination, not only will you be disappointed, but you will also miss your recovery.

Tired of obsessing over your reflection? Letting go of body checking can bring peace, healing, and freedom.
