Did I miss the summer body deadline??

I refuse to use the word “diet” when referring to the way that I eat 🗣️

“Diet” in today’s society is riddled with connotations such as “temporary” or “fad” which only leads the individual to “sacrifice” and “deprive” for the sake of a larger goal.

Dieters fall victim to a Sisyphus fallacy, treating the changes in what they eat and do as a burden they must roll on an uphill battle towards their goal only for the “burdenous diet” they carried to fall away from them when cheat days become cheat weeks and rest days become rest months leaving them back at square one—a lifetime of yo-yoing on the scale and perceived shame over an occurrence that quite frankly is your body’s natural response to a season of lack 😮‍💨

“Connotation” is half the battle when choosing to embark on a journey of any kind surround food and the body.

Language like “instead of” or “removal from” when determining what you will eat inadvertently imposes the idea that you are losing something📉 to gain something else📈

Why focus on what you have to “give up” when you can focus solely on what you get to “indulge in” more intentionally?

Why not set parameters for what you require from your food and pursue those bench marks regardless of what you ingest to achieve them?

My perimeters:

🍴Flavor

🍴Filling

🍴Flexibility

(Look out for a post later this week deep diving into what each parameter means for me—and you too!)

I BEG YOU—choose INTENTION🙇🏾‍♀️ over DIET🙅🏾‍♀️

YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE WILL THANK YOU ☺️ — Follow me so we can chat more about what that means 🤍💕✨
