289: Why Your Health (and Worth) Is so Much More Than Your Weight w/ Brianna Wilkerson

If You Want To Find True Food Freedom, You Should:

Stop associating your worth to your body, career, or anything else

Check in with yourself before you eat something to make sure you are actually hungry

Swap out your ‘unhealthy’ food habits with habits that promote sustainable change one at a time

 
Have you ever found yourself feeling like your worth is tied to your weight or what size you wore? The diet culture we face in the US is intense and unhealthy, so shifting your mindset around food and your body is an important part of self-love and self-acceptance.
 
You Are Not Alone with Brianna Wilkerson
Brianna Wilkerson is a Holistic Health and Life Coach who helps women find peace with food, feel confident in their bodies again, and develop a healthy lifestyle that’s more than just about their weight. She is passionate about helping women invest in the things in their lives that truly matter and is here to be honestly vulnerable about the fact that you are not alone.
 
Your Worth Is Not Dependent on Your Weight
No matter what happens with your weight, your career, or your productivity, the people that love you will still be there for you. This is a very different narrative from the story society has told us that our worth is tied to our looks, youth, and success. 
The truth is, if we stopped spending so much time and energy hating our bodies, we would show up in the world in a radically different way. This is why we need to get real with ourselves about how we want to feel in our bodies to accept that our worth is absolutely not tied to our size.
 
Finding Food Freedom
Our relationship with food can impact everything from our emotional health to our dieting habits. By arming yourself with self-care rituals and checking in with yourself before emotionally eating, you can find ways to replace your not-so-good habits with ones that encourage sustainable change. 
Being proactive and setting yourself up for success is the best way to find your unique version of food freedom and can help you feel nourished in all areas of your life.
