What do you do when you’re happy with your body

but your boyfriend wants you to lose weight?

We’ve all been there (well, maybe not aaaall of us, but some of us…okay at least a few) when you’re just starting loving on your body, you meet a new guy, and the sly comments start…

“You know I love you but, do you reeeeally think you should be eating that?”

What the? SERIOUSLY??!!

YOU thought your body was fly! YOU thought you were rockin’ those skinny jeans and here is your new beau, telling you to cut back on the cheesy fries?!!

New love is a tricky affair. You want to impress, but you also need to eat.

Should you choose the salad FOR.EV.AH? When can you actually be yourself and what should you do if “being yourself” is not what your man wants?

The Other Bits…

You Can’t Please Everybody (so you might as well please yourself)

If making the whole world happy leaves you miserable, then please tell me… what was the point? We spend all of our time trying to either gain people’s approval or avoid losing their disapproval, but rarely do we take the time to do what WE want and what WE enjoy. Put yourself first in your own life. I promise the world won’t collapse around you.

Quit Being a Scaredy Cat

So what if someone rejects you? Seriously… so what? Living your life for the pleasure of others will keep you miserable (as per point 1.) so ditch the “need to please” syndrome. Other people’s opinions of you are not your responsibility. You can’t control them. You can’t change them. So putting in super human efforts to try is a big fat waste of your precious energy and time. The only opinion about yourself and your body that matters is YOURS. Own it. Love it.

Love Outside Of The Box

Doing, thinking and behaving the same way you always have will get you the same results you’ve always gotten. It’s time to stand up for yourself. Be courageous. Decide that you are worth sticking up for! If you don’t do it, who will? Your journey with emotional eating is yours and yours alone. Nobody has the right to tell you to hurry your life along for their pleasure.
