Under Pressure??

Megan Fox, Ashlee Simpson, The Olsen twins, Nicole Richie…

The pressure women face to be thin is overwhelming.

In any given gossip magazine, you will find pictures of Hollywood celebrities who look like they have recently missed a few important meals – and we assume it is probably all in the name of staying competitive in their field.

Of course the public gives celebrities like these a very hard time – primarily because this body type is not the norm for society, But unfortunately, there are some girls that feel as though they need to live up to these standards in order to be beautiful…

Most of us are very uneducated when it comes to nutrition and very naïve when it comes to the definition of health & beauty. We are constantly chasing “perfection” …(it’s true)

And that can lead to a number of deadly disorders;

·         Anorexia

·         Bulimia

·         Body Dysmorphic disorder

·         Binge eating disorder

·         Orthorexia nervosa

·         Compulsive overeating

·         Pica Disorder

·         Diabulimia

And the list goes on....

Change your mindset!

Luckily these days more and more women are catching the fitness bug, and learning how to look after their bodies properly and fuel their bodies with nourishing foods.

GET ACTIVE!

The more active you are, the less crap you will want to eat. Self hate is a massive problem, even I have this problem sometimes..

After enjoying some awesome pancakes or a yummy chocolate I tend to get down on myself- “WHY did I need to eat that”- ultimately making yourself feel guilty after eating junk food.

HOW TO SOLVE THIS- Treat yourself... in moderation! Don’t drive yourself crazy, if you want a chocolate, have a chocolate.. Just not one every day!  If you can stick to a clean diet all week, come Saturday or Sunday, that cheat meal is well deserved, and you will enjoy every bit of it!!

Get Spiritual!

 Start enjoying the finer things in life, like waking up early and going for a walk with your man or doing a yoga class with your girlfriends. Things like that tend to balance you, and everyone needs a little balance!!

Last but not least- Find yourself a HEALTHY role model!

None of this superficial, super skinny crap! Find powerful women, who look after themselves and stand for all the right things! 

                                               

Happy body, happy soul, happy life!!

Love Davina
