Listening to hunger cues helps grow a positive self-image
Staying healthy through intuitive eating
Start
Intuitive eating is one of the most useful tools a teen can have while navigating high school. Learn more about intuitive eating, self love and body neutrality.
Tune Into Intuitive Eating
Step 6
Love yourself! Intuitive eating plays a large role in appreciating all of the things our bodies allow us to do.
Step 4
Begin identifying your hunger cues and follow them. Allow yourself to eat when you are hungry.
Step 2
Stop measuring every aspect of life. You are worth more than the number on a scale.
Step 5
Eat the things you are craving. Eating the foods you crave is better for the mind than waiting to eat them for a long time.
Step 3
Remember that you're allowed to eat foods that you enjoy!
Step 1
Reject toxic diet culture: no "miracle" diet is actually productive to mental and physical wellbeing.
When being body positive is difficult, body neutrality helps to stay away from negativity.
A positive alternative
Value and take time for mental activities instead of worrying about body image.
Mind over matter
Rather than thinking "good" or "bad" about features, accept the purpose of them and their value.
Acceptance of circumstance
Recognize the body for what it allows us to do every day, even simple tasks.
The body's capabilities
While body positivity is good for mental well-being, another interesting approach to self-image is body neutrality. Rather than focusing on very positive or negative ends of the spectrum, body neutrality recognizes the body simply for what it is.
What is body neutrality, and why can it be helpful?
Think positively about others
Understanding hunger cues comes with time - tune into what the body is conveying.
Understand and watch for hunger cues
Focus on the body's incredible ability to alert for hunger and fullness rather than body image.
Value the mind and its abilities
Many celebrities promote unhealthy, unsustainable diets - leave behind toxic influences.
Step away from the screen
Recognize when you're unable to make the journey alone, there's no shame in asking for help.
When concerned, talk to a professional
Don't shame others for outward appearance - this leads to a negative mindest for everyone.
In addition to intuitive eating, practice thinking body-positive or neutral thoughts.
