21 Positive Body Image and Food Freedom Affirmations

Words are powerful. I use affirmations in my own life and also with clients to help them in their journey towards healing their relationship with food and body image.

Here’s 21 affirmations to use (say them out loud, write them down, print them and keep them with you wherever you go…)

• I am grateful for all the things I can DO with my body

• Life doesn’t start when I lose weight. Life has already started and I choose to live my life.

Food Freedom

• The food I choose to eat does NOT determine my self worth
