Your body is not the problem!

And just like that, I am done the first module out of 7 for the certification program I am currently working through and LOVING so much! 

I have 40 pages of notes from the 24hrs of videos I watched and wanted to share some of the big takeaways and things I've learned so far!

Let me know what you think and what you learn from this episode on Instagram @_leahtang! And let me know if there's a specific topic mentioned in this episode that you would like me to dive deeper into!

Your body is not the problem!

One of the biggest things holding you back from loving your body and the health & fitness results you want is the fact that you still see your body as the enemy.

You try to fight against it by restricting food and over exercising. You try to run away from it by numbing with social media, alcohol and drugs. 

When will you realize that your body is on your team?!

What would it take for you to no longer see your body as the problem? 

This is the question I ask in today's episode and would love to hear your answers!

Send me a DM on Instagram @_leahtang and let me know what it would take for you to no longer see your body as the problem!

In the beginning of June, Graeme and I flew back to Canada and one of the surprises we got to do was surprising our niece with a shopping trip to the mall!

Today I share with you the mindset shifts and tangible tips we implemented to support a positive body image in our niece who shared that she had a fantastic time!

Let me know which you will try next time and remember...

Your body is not the problem!

You're not alone if you struggle to stop eating when you're full or don't like what you're eating!

Maybe you struggle to stop eating because:

• You know you won't allow yourself to eat it again for quite awhile
• You've been raised to always finish everything on your plate/don't waste food
• It tastes so good and you just can't stop
• You're trying to get your monies worth
• You have no energy left to make something different

I can remember thinking all of these things and so today I share with you mindset shifts you can make so that you can be better at listening to your body when you are full and not feeling guilty when you do have to throw out some food!

I can't wait to hear what you think of this episode! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @_leahtang with your takeaways!

Your body is NOT the problem!

The 75 Love Challenge is a challenge that I created to help you love your body more within 75 days!

We start May 1st and for 75 days we will have 8 tasks and 1 habit that we are trying to break.

I lay out all of the details, WHY I chose the tasks I did, next steps and what you will get in this episode.

I can't wait to work through this challenge with you!

Your body is not the problem!

What do you remember from gym class?

I remember how teachers assumed we could run 5k without stretching before or after and without training and without making sure we were properly fueled and hydrated.

I remember feeling extra insecure about me and my body because I got bad grades in gym class and was very often picked last.

I remember being nervous that people would think I was weird for wearing basketball shorts when all of the other girls were wearing short lululemon shorts for volleyball.

I personally don't have fond memories of gym class and there are a lot of ways in which it impacted my relationship with exercise and my body! 

Today's episode we dive into how gym class may have impacted your relationship with exercise and how you can go about creating a NEW experience and relationship with exercise!

Your body is NOT the problem!

In my opinion, vacations are meant to be fun and help you feel GOOD!

But so many of us start stressing before the vacation even starts because of our poor body image and it continues during and after the vacation is over!

• You start stressing about what diet you'll do beforehand to lose weight
• What will you be able to eat on vacay
• Will you workout
• Will you not workout
• What if you gain weight on vacation
• What if people see our stretch marks
• What will I wear

Sooooo many things start racing through our minds and honestly a lot of my advice comes back to the same thing, listening to your body!

But I share so much in this episode to help you feel prepared to have a fun vacation where you're not stressing before, during and after and so that you can go on vacation and actually be present!

Here are extra episodes you can add in for extra support before going on vacation:
