“ I am more than my reflection “

A sentence written on the mirror of a gym’s changing room that reminds us that we should stop body shaming and judging a person by his/her bodily features as we don’t know what is happening in this person’s life and what struggles and insecurities he/ she is going through.

Criticizing a person’s height, weight, body shape and looks is not okay!!

Low self esteem and distorted body image can only lead to more anxiety, body image disturbances and even eating disorders and depression.

So please next time you see a friend or a family member, instead of saying “ you gained weight” , “ you lost so much weight are you sick?, just say “ how are you?” Or “ i miss you” instead.

You never know how your words can affect a person’s self image even if they try to hide it in front of you. So watch your words and be gentle and know that there is much more to a person than the size of his jeans 👖

With the festive season approaching, we all fear the weight gain and the calories that we are about to indulge in. This is why it is very important to keep these points in mind:

1- Enjoy every moment with your family and friends instead of worrying about the calories in the food you eat and how you will compensate for it.

2- Don’t skip meals throughout the day because you will end up overeating and feeling worse afterwards

3- Follow a healthy diet that normalizes what is so called “ cheat meals” because when you follow a strict diet, you will have a negative relationship with food and will overeat whenever you can

4- Stay active during the holiday period, however don’t overdo it and exhaust yourself just because of what you will eat during that meal

5- Listen to your satiety cues and stop eating when you are about to feel full because this will help you enjoy your meal without feeling uncomfortable and guilty

Merry Christmas and Happy new year everyone!! 🎅 🎄

Did you ever feel that your metabolism is slow and blamed your body and/ or age for your previous dieting failure? 🥺

Yes, age does affect your metabolism and the older you get the harder it is for your body to burn calories

However, there could be many reasons affecting your metabolism other than your biological age such as :

1- Crash diets that leave you feeling hungry all the time which lead to your body counteracting and preserving the energy levels he gets by slowing down your metabolism ❌

2- Lack of physical activity and specifically weight training . Resistance training aids in improving muscle mass hence increasing your metabolism.l🏋🏻‍♀️

3- Medical reasons such as hypothyroidism or hormonal imbalances.

Don’t just give up on yourself and on your efforts to change and improve.Just try to figure out what might be causing the slowdown of your metabolism and try to solve it as soon as you can!💪🏻

It is very important to highlight the importance of our emotional and psychological well-being when we are talking about changing our lifestyle and setting health goals. ⁣
⁣
I often get the comment from my patients of : “ i feel i am talking to a therapist” while they are describing their weight history . ⁣
⁣
And this is due to the fact that our brain and our emotional health is directly linked to our ability to follow a certain diet or watch our healthy habits and set targets that are achievable for us at this point in our life. ⁣
⁣
It is crucial to understand that there are several factors that would also affect our weight loss and our motivation to exercise or monitor our food such as our sleeping hours, our stress level, our hormones levels and vitamins levels. ⁣
⁣
Any disruption in any of these would lead to a delay or a resistance to reach our goals.⁣
⁣
This is why, instead of giving up and feeling frustrated when we don’t reach “ the perfect weight” or “ the exercise plan” we had in mind, we should rather try to work on all other aspects mentioned that could be affecting our health and preventing our progress. ⁣
⁣
Understanding our body’s cues and working on adjusting our lifestyle and health goals gradually and realistically is a top priority for success instead of negative self talk and giving up which will only lead to failure. ⁣
