BODY ACCEPTANCE + WEIGHT LOSS | can you do both?

Body acceptance and weight loss? Is it possible to work on both at the same time? Many people say no, but I say 100% yes! If you struggle with your body image (which I did for many years!), healing that relationship is a part of your weight loss journey.

I would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and experiences about this topic down in the comments below!

  1. Happy Friday Friends! Today I am sharing some more weight loss food for thought! I would love to hear your thoughts, questions and experiences down in the comments below. XO – Dani

  2. I am so early okay, thank you for making a video on this topic.

    The fat shaming that I have to face everyday,
    A few hours ago I told my mom I wanted to wear a shirt which I wore the last time and her reply was … oh no it won’t fit you anymore.

    The thing is , it will fit and im not even that fat.

    How do you even accept yourself if your own mother says things like this.

  3. I do struggle with body image, especially since turning 50. Im in pretty good health. I lost 50 pounds with ww 18 years ago and for the most part maintained it within 5.. I do struggle with 5 pounds though. I also want to get out of the diet mentality. My daughter recently had a baby that was born at 28 weeks. She had him in March and its been a roller coaster since then. He’s much better now, but still in hospital. Any tips would be helpful and I did enjoy this video.

  4. Spent most of my adult years 30-70 pounds overweight.
    I found that treating my attempts at weight loss like ‘a process’ or a journey’ or even ‘a goal’ was a mistake. For reaching some arbitrary finish line immediately resulted in me going back to the old habits that put all that weight on.
    Frankly, no amount of positive self talk was ever gonna make me ok with the fat failure I seen in the mirror.
    2 years ago I decided healthy eating had to be a lifestyle I would practice daily and carry on till the grave.
    Only then did I reach, and more importantly, maintain a healthy weight.
    Now I see someone on the right track when I look into the mirror at the person I spent decades dreaming would stare back.

    • Love this! This to me is the difference between dieting a REAL weight loss. We have to make changes we are willing to live with FOREVER. IF we approach weight loss doing things we don’t want to do, we will always be looking for the moment to cheat or stop. Sounds like you found a way to make changes for life!

  5. Hi Dani, thanks for the straight talk. Because of you, I am a much kinder person to myself. I love your encouraging messages and the way you remove the layers of dieting myths (to put it nicely). I’m moving the numbers on the scale slowly but with the focus on feeling better and being healthier…the scale no longer scares me. Thank you, thank you!!

  6. Thank you for sharing! I was just thinking about this last night as I’m frustrated by my lack of weight loss. A long time ago I realized that in order to lose weight, I had to love myself at my current weight. If I don’t love myself now, how can I make the best choices for me?

  7. I really needed this. Menopause decided to show up during quarantine and I see a complete shift in my body composition and a jump in pounds on top of what I already had. A lot of that negative talk is from the number on the scale so I decided that my clothes would be my guide.

  8. It took me many, many years to love my body while still being able to lose weight. I used to vacillate between being “motivated” to lose weight and accepting my body. But really, loving my body as it is has helped me lose weight because I’m respecting my body enough to give it what makes it healthy. With wanting to lose weight for health, rather than vanity, I find it much easier to appreciate my body along the journey.
