The way we talk about our diets and bodies needs to change, and nixing these phrases from your vocabulary is a great place to start
I have spent the majority of my life, at least as much of it as I can remember, battling an eating disorder. I’ve also watched a heartbreaking number of friends and family members face similar struggles with eating, exercise, and body image – most of which are created, or at least exacerbated by diet culture.
1.“I have to work this off” or “I’ve earned this” We should not be using exercise as a way to “earn” food or punish ourselves for eating it! Exercise is wonderful for our physical and mental wellbeing, but using it as a punishment or justification for enjoying food kind of defeats the emotional benefits it would otherwise give us.
ADVERTISEMENT I’ve been complimented on my weight loss when it was a result of extremely unhealthy behavior, encouraging me to continue destroying my body to receive positive attention from others. In short, others’ bodies are nobody’s business but their own, and to avoid being intrusive, insulting, or disrespectful, find something not weight-related to compliment someone on.
