Remove the word "burn" from your vocabulary. Replace "calorie burn" with "energy boost." If a form of exercise makes you feel bad about your body, stop doing it. There are 1,000 other ways to move. Pillar 2: Gentle Nutrition (No Moralizing Food) In a body-positive lifestyle, there is no "good" food or "bad" food. There is just food.

Aim for nourishing foods 80% of the time not because you fear the 20%, but because you enjoy the way nourishment feels. The 20% is for joy, culture, and taste. Remove the guilt, and the binge cycle often stops. Pillar 3: Mental & Emotional Hygiene You cannot have a healthy body if you are mentally torturing yourself. The "wellness lifestyle" must include a rigorous practice of mental health hygiene.

If you have been avoiding the doctor because you are ashamed of the scale, make a 'body positive' appointment. You have the right to ask the nurse not to tell you your weight. You can say, "I am in recovery from diet culture, please discuss health behaviors only."

For decades, the multi-billion dollar wellness industry has sold us a simple, seductive lie: that health is a look. We have been conditioned to believe that if you eat clean, exercise hard, and practice self-care, you will inevitably end up looking a certain way—lean, toned, and thin.

The truth is, shame is a terrible motivator. Study after study shows that weight stigma and body shaming lead to increased cortisol (stress hormone), binge eating, avoidance of exercise, and avoidance of medical check-ups. When you feel bad about your body, you are less likely to go to the gym. When you feel ashamed, you are less likely to see a doctor.
