You can be anti diet but still try to lose weight by other forms of manipulation of the human body, maybe you don't 'diet' by restricting calories but you cut food groups, maybe you exercise in a way to change your body. Body positivity is about being comfortable in the skin you are in TODAY! Not today because you are changing it for tomorrow, or today because you feel good about running 12miles and you won't put on any weight. Body positivity is for everyone regardless if you have a fitness interest or not, everyone has a right to feel comfortable in their own skin.

My 4 tips for taking control of your life after years of dieting.. ✏1) ️smash your scales 😱You said, "I can't give them up yet because if I do I'll lose control" 💚I say, "try it, image your worst fear and think what's the rationale behind it, is this even possible" (for example 'if I stop weighing I'll become obese overnight') ✏2) ️Eat whatever you like 😱you said, "I can't have certain food in the house or I'll eat it all too it's gone. I'll lose control. I can't be trusted." 💚I say, "try it, try having for example chocolate in the house in abundance, so much so there's no way you could eat it all, allow yourself to eat it whenever you need. Pretty soon you'll stop craving it" ✏3) ️Take some time off from exercise 😱you said "if I do that, I'll have to restrict, I know my body.. I'll put on weight" 💚I say, "try it.. Maybe you will put on weight if you are under your set weight, maybe you won't, maybe your appetite will reduce naturally (if you are at the stage where you are able to listen to it that Is). You also need to eat even if you aren't exercising. Your body needs energy to live. ✏️4) hire a coach 💚you may have had s coach who got you in this mess now get a coach to help you out of it. I have a coach. If I didn't believe in having a coach I wouldn't expect you to hire me! (Even a hairdresser needs someone else to cut her hair) 💇🏾
