Reducing the internal critic and cultivating a supportive inner dialogue.

Remove moral language from your vocabulary regarding lifestyle choices. Food is not "sinful" or "clean"; it is just food. Workouts are not "burning off dinner"; they are movement.

What it means is that you'll have a framework for returning to yourself when you get lost. You'll have tools that don't require self-betrayal. You'll know that one day of eating differently doesn't undo years of healing, and that skipping a workout doesn't make you a failure as a human being.
