repeat after me:

even if i don’t like my body today i will take care of it

even if i don’t like myself today i will still be patient and kind with myself

even if i do not love myself i will still take care of and be kind to myself, despite not wanting to

Ten things you should know about exercise...

1. It shouldn’t be easy.

2. You have to learn to do it on days you don’t want to do it.

3. If you don’t figure out a kind of exercise you enjoy to some extent, you aren’t going to keep up with it. So figure that out quickly.

4. It’s okay NOT to do a kind of workout if you just can’t get into it no matter how hard or often you try. Just working out in any way is better than nothing.

5. Don’t overdo it. You’ll injur yourself and end up not being able to workout at all.

6. You should never work out to make up for overeating or simply to make up for extra calories.

7. Mentally you’ll feel better if you workout regularly. There isn’t a therapist out there who wouldn’t suggest working out for the mental benefits.

8. It takes time to get to a point where you do enjoy working out. It doesn’t happen immediately. In fact working out when you’ve just started can be downright miserable for quite awhile.

9. Working out at a heavier weight is painful, but the more you lose, the easier it will become. Keep at it.

10. Your body can get pretty strong if you give it a chance, don’t judge your body by how it feels those first few weeks of working out.

Here is a really gigantic pic of highly respected dietitian and social worker Ellyn Satter’s hierarchy of food needs. 

First, enough food. This will be roughly anywhere from 2000-4000 cals/per day for most adults, depending on age, size, and activity level.

Acceptable food. Food that you’re willing to eat, acquired in ways you’re willing to get it. Leftovers from a garbage can would not be acceptable to anyone who had enough food. 

Reliable, ongoing access to food. Self-explanatory… you don’t worry that the next meal, or even the next week’s food, won’t be there.

Good-tasting food. Food you like! Palatable food! This is an exciting level to reach.

Novel food. Introducing variety, trying new foods and new ways of preparing them.

Instrumental food. Nutritional considerations, foods that serve a specific ‘health’ purpose. Say you’re wanting to get more of a certain micronutrient, so you choose foods that provide it. This level is what many people wrongly treat as the base of the pyramid when attempting ‘healthy eating’ in our frankly unhinged diet culture.
