DID YOU DIVORCE YOUR BODY?
What I want to say to you if you divorced your body somewhere
along the way
and don’t know how to reconnect.
I want to say…
I get it.
I divorced my body early on.
I was 9, when my body started to feel like it wasn’t a safe place to be.
I was 14 when I started to feel like I had to manage it and every morsel that entered.
I was 16 when it became deeply confusing to be the shape of me.
I was 18 when my body became the enemy.
And by 19, my body was my full time DIY project.
I hear it every day
from smart amazing women, the moment,
the moments they divorced their body.
When it was unsafe for you to be in a woman’s body.
When the shape of you was criticized by your mother, your father, your gym teacher and others…
When the way to bond with friends was the next diet.
When the way to be loved was thinness.
When the illness, the injury, the hormone change made you feel like your body had betrayed you.
When the number on the scale determined your worthiness.
What I want to say to you if you’ve divorced your body somewhere along the journey of your life is…
You can find a relationship with her that works.
You can learn to trust her again
and she can learn to trust you.
You can divorce the inner-diet-police
and the ruling-skinny-culture
instead of divorcing yourself.
You don’t have to fix yourself.
You don’t have to manage your body.
You have FULL permission to have a joyous relationship with your body.
There’s a way to re-connect to pleasure and joy in your own skin.
I promise.
You can find a way back to being at home.
