Eat when you are physically hungry and stop when you are comfortably full.

If the gym feels like a prison, don't go. Body-positive wellness is about finding what you love—whether that’s dancing in your living room, hiking, swimming, or restorative yoga.

Eliminate labels like "good" or "bad" foods. A salad provides vitamins; a piece of cake provides cultural celebration or joy. Both have a place in a balanced life.

Explore movement outside the traditional gym setting. Dancing, hiking, swimming, yoga, gardening, and walking all count as meaningful physical activity.

Seek out gyms, yoga studios, and healthcare providers that explicitly practice weight-inclusivity and do not make weight loss the primary metric of success.
