You cannot have a wellness lifestyle if your brain is a war zone. Body positivity directly targets the internalized fatphobia and negative self-talk that many people mistake for "motivation."

The body-positive wellness lifestyle is rooted in intuition. It is the practice of tuning back into the innate wisdom we were born with. Babies cry when they are hungry and stop when they are full.
