reasons to eat healthy that don't involve weight loss
for people who struggle to stay on track
·:*¨༺ ★ ༻¨*:·.
-to improve your relationship with food, including unhealthy food (the occasional treat will feel a lot better if you're not indulging all the time!)
-to avoid cycles of self hatred that come after periods of binging or unhealthy eating
-to practice self respect and giving yourself the love and pampering you deserve
-to avoid immediate health complications such as diabetes or heart diseases, some of which may run in your family
-to expand your cooking skills for yourself and potentially people you love and may want to cook (nutritious) food for
-to learn to love foods besides the junk food (loving fruits and veggies>>>)
-to save money (cooking at home can be a lot cheaper than buying snacks and treats all the time!)
-to avoid getting your body dependent on sugar, and the complications of that dependency (constantly craving sugar, getting withdrawal symptoms, health issues that may come from that)
-to develop healthy habits to keep you aging gracefully- if you want to be active and independent into old age and avoid serious health problems such as dementia, health is going to keep getting more important. it's easier to change sooner and set yourself up for a full and complete life.
-to help with any potential issues you may have with sleep, digestion, or energy levels
This year we're not doing weight loss resolutions. No new fad diets or miracle workout programs, no magic pills, and definitely no bariatric surgeries. This year we're listening to our bodies, and more importantly we're loving our bodies. We do not need to be smaller to be worthy of that.
it’s okay to eat. it’s okay to sate your needs, and you don’t have to compare yourself to other people and what they eat. there could be one thousands reasons someone else eats the amount of food they do. only you live in your body, and you deserve to nourish it without guilt.
Do it halfway. Take one piece of trash out of your room, throw one dirty shirt into your hamper. Go to one class and miss a different one. Start a drawing without pressure to finish it. Give yourself space to Be without the expectation to Become, and do small things to make the Being livable.
