How to Find Self-Worth Outside of Dieting and Being Thin

In this episode of the Escape Diet Prison Podcast, Deb and I share strategies that allow you to step into a deep and unwavering sense of self-worth without focusing on your weight and the shape of your body.

I share a little story of a recent body image hiccup that came up in my life and how I dealt with it.

If you are serious about stepping into a wholesome picture of your self-worth, you have to make the decision and commit to it. There’s no way around making the clear and undoubtably firm decision on your part to stop playing in the circus that is our current beauty ideal.

Another way to stop feeling like you’re not good enough is to stop comparing yourself to younger versions of yourself and to thinner versions of your body. Were you really happy back then? I doubt it.

How to Build a Sense of Self-Worth

Deb and I give the following specific and actionable tips that you can implement right away if you are willing to develop a deep sense of self-worth:

Practice gratitude in the specific way we share in this episode
Stop hanging out with people who are nothing but a Debbie Downer
Step into the discomfort of being in between lives (again, it’s a decision)
Remember that there is no wrong way to have a body. None.
Acknowledge that your body will eventually win – no matter how hard you fight.
Realize that your body knows what she is going – if you allow her to do her thing.
Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable over and over again.
and so much more

We mention The Five Minute Journal: A Happier You in 5 Minutes a Day as a great way of starting or enhancing your gratitude journey. You can find it here: https://amzn.to/2vrhTh1 (Affiliate Link)
