Need a break from diet culture?

I'm Debbie Saroufim, Body Relationship Coach. It took me most of my adult life to be able to say I love my body. In fact, I spent most of my life hating my body and obsessing over what a “good body” looked like. 

From a young age, I was terrified of having a bad body. My mother, with the best intentions - but a very specific idea of what a good body is, wanted so badly for me to be happy with my body that she put me on a diet - when I was in the first grade.

The problem was, that I didn't get a choice in what type of body I had. So the "good" vs "bad"body concept meant that I was perpetaully pissed at the body I had, and simultaneously felt responsible for the parts of it I didn't like. 

This process of learning to love your body is not something you can turn on and off. It took me a long time to let go of the notion of good and bad. But now, I don’t have a good body. And I don’t have a bad body. I just have my body. The one and only one I’ll ever have. 

Now I help women make peace with their body, and build up their immunity to the toxic messaging we are constantly being fed through diet culture. 

SO DO YOU NEED A DETOX FROM DIET CULTURE?

Read the list below and put a check next to any thought you've had.

• I'm hungry, but it's too late to eat.
• That has too many carbs.
• If I eat that I'll get fat.
• Some foods should only be eaten in moderation.
• I shouldn't eat something if I can't pronounce all the ingredients in it. 
• If I just lost some weight I'd be healthy.

How many of those phrases sound familiar? The truth is, messages like those are EVERYWHERE.

WAIT, THOSE ARE DIET CULTURE THOUGHTS? 

FIRST, DON'T WORRY. WE ALL HAVE DIET CULTURE THOUGHTS. 

But the black and white thinking of diet culture doesn't leave us a lot of room for you to feel good about ourselves. That's why it's important that we learn the tools to not only identify where our thoughts came from, but how to talk back to them. When we are able to recognize that feeling bad isn't a symptom of acting bad, rather a symptom of the black and white thinking we've been programmed to to have, we are able to best care for ourselves. 

As you start to decipher where diet culture lives in you, you'll be able to start talking back to those thoughts, so they no longer determine your self worth. Your struggle with you body image has never been about what your body looks like. 

BUT DIET CULTURE IS EVERYWHERE. HOW DO I AVOID IT? 

Honest answer, you can't. But you CAN build up your immunity to it!

And that's what the Body Relationship Group Coaching Community is for.

You'll work alongside other women (of all different body types) who feel the same way you do. Together, you'll learn how to love yourself, even if you don't like everything about you.
