Embracing Body Positivity and Wellness: A Holistic Approach to Living

Practical Tips for Embracing Body Positivity and Wellness

References

Get Involved

• “If I stop dieting, I’ll lose control.” – Intuitive eating studies show the opposite: restriction leads to bingeing; permission leads to balance.
• “Does body positivity ignore health risks?” – No. It acknowledges that health behaviors (eating vegetables, moving) matter more than body size. Correlation is not causation; weight stigma itself causes health harm.
• “What about weight loss goals?” – Body positivity does not forbid weight change. It forbids shame, obsession, and dangerous methods. If weight changes naturally from joyful movement and intuitive eating, that’s fine. If it doesn’t, that’s also fine.
