Take the focus off dieting and exercising to lose weight and do things that you actually enjoy, Previte said. Think about what foods make you feel good physically and emotionally, and eat those! Do movement that inspires you and builds your confidence. Focus on behaviours you know will have a positive impact on your health such as getting enough sleep, stress management, eating nutrient-packed foods, and staying hydrated.
"Look at these very simple and small behaviour changes as an opportunity to take care of yourself because it feels good," Previte said, and not because you have to, or with the intention to lose weight.
