Even though I'm not eating as cleanly as I would like I am still working on my body by consistently going to the gym. I've never heard of the 5:1 ratio before so thank you.
I used to be really insecure about my bod and the one thing that turned it around is think if I see any other girl there’s no chance I’m gonna think she’s ugly andi decided that I’d completely ignore what I felt about myself and take a moment to appreciate other people and realize how beautiful everyone else is and eventually I convinced myself that if everyone else is beautiful then I must be to it sounds silly but it worked
Lately I've been trying to improvise and arrange on the piano. I find it's a way to express your feelings and I notice I go to it a lot when I think about my body, it's a way to be gentle towards myself instead of hurting and pushing through pain. When you improvise it's first being guided by sounds but then it's like being guided by feelings that moves like waves that direct ur responses. So in a weird roundabout way I feel I'm listening to my body, responding in a healthy way and having gratitude that my body allows me to play those keys to produce music.
Something I like to do, and I guess this goes along with expressing gratitude for your body, is remember all of the things my body is capable of doing rather than what it looks like. Obviously there are things we can do to improve how we look. But what about all of the amazing things our bodies can do, regardless of how it looks? For me, it's my stamina with running and fast walking, with kicking butt on the rowing machine. Do I still have extra flab where I'd prefer not to? Yup. And yet, I am physically capable of a lot
Great strategies but I would recommend removing the suggestion to find a healthier alternative to hot chocolate. I'm a dietitian and was hoping to show this video to a client with an eating disorder, but I don't want her to feel certain foods are "good" or "bad".
Thanks so much for this feedback :) I just rewatched to see what you meant and I think you may have misheard my recommendation about using hot chocolate as a self-soothing strategy. In the video I said I like to soothe with hot cocoa, and then suggested making your self-soothing drink a healthy one (meaning non-alcoholic/substance). Thanks again for the clarification and I hope these tips help your clients, too.
You’re in luck Tina- if you’re in CT or NY I’m currently accepting new counseling clients. The first step is to book a free phone screening to make sure everyone is clear on how we work and what to expect so there are no surprises. Here’s that link: www.mallorygrimste.com/contact

LOVE this mindset- thanks for sharing it :)
This is really helpful for me. I'm in hospital recovering from anorexia, so I'm looking for ways to change my way of thinking.
So glad you’re taking care of yourself 💛 I’d love to know which strategy was most helpful for you so far
