Day 3

I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and pick yourself apart. To make a list in your head of everything that needs to be “fixed” before you’re allowed to feel good.

To tell yourself:

“If I just hated my body enough, maybe I’d finally change it.”

But here’s what I learned — the hard way:

You can’t hate your body into change.

For years, I tried to use shame as motivation. Restrictive eating. Punishing workouts. Constant comparison. And sure, sometimes I’d make progress… But it never stuck. Because it didn’t come from love — it came from fear.

Change that lasts? It’s rooted in compassion.

Real change starts when you stop treating your body like a problem to fix and start treating it like a home to take care of.

When you move, not to punish yourself — but to express love for the body that carries you. When you nourish, not because you “should,” but because you deserve to feel good. When you rest, not out of guilt, but out of honor.

🌿 Here’s what actually sticks:

Kindness over control

Consistency over chaos

Self-respect over self-restriction

The version of you you’re becoming? She’s not built from shame.

She’s built from self-leadership, belief, and a little bit of softness.

🪞 Ask yourself this:

What would change if I stopped trying to shrink my body…

and started trying to support it?

Change doesn’t come from punishment. It comes from partnership.

And you’re allowed to be on the same team as your body — starting today.
