Embracing a New Relationship with Food and Movement by Letting Go of Identity as the 'Fit' Friend.

Letting go of her identity as the "healthy" and "fit" friend was key to Isabel's recovery from an eating disorder and building a healthy relationship with food and movement. Shedding certain identities allowed her to make room for more authentic parts of herself to shine through. Isabel now practices intuitive eating and joyful movement, prioritizes rest days, and is conscious of her body's cues. Health and wellness is a personal journey, and tuning out other people's opinions is necessary to prioritize overall well-being.
