🟡 There’s a lot of fear surrounding permission-based eating and allowing yourself to eat anything you want, at any time, in any quantity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ People think that with that kind of unrestricted permission that they’ll go completely off the rails and eat junk food 24/7. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But fear isn’t reality, and permission isn’t the same thing as action. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Permission is the mindset that creates the mental space for you to determine what it is you actually need to feel your best. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...

🟡 Both Diet Culture and Body Positivity have their extremes. Don’t get me wrong… a lot of good has come out of both communities, such as nutritional awareness and fitness communities from Diet Culture, and body acceptance and self-care from the Body Positivity movement. But unfortunately, both can take their philosophies too far - pushing open-minded people away, and keeping them from finding a health and fitness “home” they can relate to. Here’s the good news… there is a happy medium that take...

🟡 The key to being consistent with exercise for life is to understand that it isn’t the exercise itself you enjoy - it’s just the vehicle for creating an atmosphere or state that brings you joy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you don’t enjoy the means you won’t experience the ends. In other words, if you can’t find the satisfaction in the activity itself, you will never stay engaged with it long enough to see the side effects of consistency - results. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It doesn’t matter if it’s walking or strength train...

🟡 How many times have you avoided life experiences, or they have been made worse, because you’ve been afraid of having your body judged? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It happens to all of us. Unexpected weight gain and body insecurities create a general feeling of unease when it comes to seeing people - especially people we haven’t seen in a while. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes it goes as far as panic and avoiding life. Other times you have no choice but see people or go places, so you have to get through high levels of fea...

🟡 Your behaviors are a side effect of your beliefs. So if you aren’t acting in a way that is creating positive change in your life, there’s a limiting belief you need to overcome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your beliefs are like your life’s operating system. This operating system can either operate the commands you give it, or it can be full of bugs, aka limiting beliefs, that create self-sabotage and negative outcomes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you replace these limiting beliefs with more empowering ones, your life experie...

Click here to Join Built Daily Elite ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🟡 Despite the fact we encourage people to learn how to eat without counting calories, we are NOT anti calorie tracking. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The problem is calorie tracking and food logging keep people anchored to a past dieting mindset. And it makes it very difficult to uncover the underlying struggles with your relationship with food when these tools are masking them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But even though we coach people how to eat without counting, there may be a time...

🟡 Choose your behaviors based on what will make you feel your best instead of what you think will make you look your best. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your goal is to work towards improving your mental, emotional, and physical health without falling back into common dieting traps. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That doesn’t mean you’re giving up on your physical appearance. Just the opposite, actually. By choosing to approach your behaviors from a place of health instead of body control, you drastically improve your consistency and ...

🟡 Weight loss doesn’t have to be a taboo topic for those of us who reject diet culture and support body positivity. When approached the right way, weight loss becomes a natural side effect of improved relationships with food, body, exercise, and mind. The problem is many people see weight loss as their savior - believing it will solve their negative body image, emotional eating, motivation struggles, and more. But when you layer weight loss on top of these struggles, they just get worse, and yo...

🟡 It’s not unusual to overshoot food freedom. In fact, it’s usually a required part of the process for getting there. I’ve watched so many people try to get out of the food prison they’re in and get to a place of food freedom. And it’s been interesting to watch a pattern take place. Think of your food freedom journey like a pendulum. On one side you have food prison, and on the other side you have food free-for-all. And right in the middle you have food freedom. You start in food prison where y...

🟡 Hating your body never changes it in the long term. In fact, body hate is one of the single greatest obstacles to transformation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hated my body for more than a decade. The only thing that accomplished was sporadic periods of leanness shrouded in body insecurity and a small life experience. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It wasn’t until I made the conscious choice to start accepting my body and moving away from hating it that my life truly changed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a result of appreciating and respecting m...

🟡 There’s more to permission-based eating than just saying yes to all the foods you want to eat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I see it all the time. People give themselves permission to eat foods they’ve placed off limits, so they go to the store and buy the food, but then they end up eating way more of it than they wanted. So they quickly write off the idea of practicing moderation and go back to placing these foods on their “trigger foods” list. Here’s the thing - permission is a feeling, not an action. You can...

🟡 What you see in the mirror is way less important than who you see looking back. Focusing on what you see in the mirror keeps you stuck defining your self-worth externally as the sum of your body parts. Focusing on who you see in the mirror shifts your self-worth internally and allows you to see yourself as a whole human being. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Obsessing over our “flaws” keeps us living a small life - constantly hiding who we are, and feeling like we have less value to offer the world simply because ...
