Schedule a check-up with a weight-inclusive provider if you can find one (search the HAES Health Sheet directory). Go in prepared to ask: What can I do to improve my health that has nothing to do with weight loss?
So, whether you are a lifelong dieter exhausted by the rollercoaster, someone recovering from an eating disorder, or simply a person who is tired of hating their reflection, hear this: You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to eat the cake. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to move in ways that feel good.
Remove one food rule. If you usually avoid carbs, add a serving of roasted potatoes or rice to your dinner. Notice how you feel. Did you panic? Did you enjoy it? Sit with the discomfort.
Go to bed 60 minutes earlier than usual. No screens in bed. Read a book, listen to a sleep story, or just breathe. Wake up without an alarm if possible.
