My mom always encouraged me to diet, but didn't teach me HOW to eat properly (proper nutrition, healthy balance of protein, fat, and carbs, etc). I didn't realize the difference between dieting and healthy eating until I was an adult. One thing that worked for me -- to get fit, lose weight, and improve my body confidence -- was to tune into my body. Instead of automatically reaching for a bag of chips or hating my cellulite, I became more mindful of why I was eating or why I hated that part of my body. Becoming aware of the roots of your beliefs or actions can empower you and help you stop them. I also recommend you pick up a copy of "this is who i am"! It's an amazing book of real women who have accepted themselves (body, mind, and soul) for who they are...and it'll change how you see your own body. I hope this helps.......if anyone else has tips or questions about body confidence, please don't be shy :-) share them here. Laurie Hi Kendra,

Boy, mothers can be hard on us sometimes! My mom always encouraged me to diet, but didn’t teach me HOW to eat properly (proper nutrition, healthy balance of protein, fat, and carbs, etc). I didn’t realize the difference between dieting and healthy eating until I was an adult.

One thing that worked for me — to get fit, lose weight, and improve my body confidence — was to tune into my body. Instead of automatically reaching for a bag of chips or hating my cellulite, I became more mindful of why I was eating or why I hated that part of my body. Becoming aware of the roots of your beliefs or actions can empower you and help you stop them.

I also recommend you pick up a copy of “this is who i am”! It’s an amazing book of real women who have accepted themselves (body, mind, and soul) for who they are…and it’ll change how you see your own body.

I hope this helps…….if anyone else has tips or questions about body confidence, please don’t be shy :-) share them here.

I became so self-conscious and scared to be myself --- and I still am, at age 32! Do you have any specific tips for getting over my mother's perception of my body and improving my body confidence? Thanks! My mother made alot of negative comments about my weight and appearance when I was growing up. I became so self-conscious and scared to be myself — and I still am, at age 32!
