1) Reject the diet mentality. Let go of diet culture, food rules, and the number on the scale.
2) Honor your hunger. Tune into your body’s hunger cues and feed yourself when you need to.
3) Make peace with food. Give yourself unconditional permission to eat all foods without guilt.
4) Challenge the food police. Stop the internal judgments about “good” or “bad” eating.
5) Discover the satisfaction factor. Notice how satisfying eating what you want in a pleasant setting feels.
6) Feel your fullness. Learn to recognize and respect your body’s fullness cues.
7) Cope with emotions with kindness. Develop non-judgmental ways to handle emotions beyond using food.
8) Respect your body. Accept your body’s uniqueness and treat it with compassion.
9) Movement. Focus on how movement makes you feel, not on burning calories.
10) Honor your health with gentle nutrition. Make food choices that nourish you in the long term after you’ve worked through the earlier steps.
