23.01.2022 If you are struggling to give up dieting right now. I hear you. It’s January and the whole world is telling you to lose weight. It’s so tempting, because you secretly wish that this year you will find that diet that you desperately hope will work this time. ... I know how tempting it is because that used to be me too. But despite my secret hopes, they never worked for me. In fact, they made my life worse, because I would start the year so preoccupied with calories, exercise plans and food rules, that I didn’t have any other brain space left to pursue my dreams, to be present in my relationships and to do the things that I enjoyed. It was only when I quit dieting that I started living again, I wanted to party with my mates, I stopped thinking about food 99.99% of my day, I was happier, I had more energy and I actually had the brain space to pursue other passions. BUT giving up dieting wasn’t easy. And if you are struggling right now, I want you to know that I know how it feels, even more so this time of year. The only way I was able to quit was to take small steps towards it, such as reading books on the truth about dieting, not tracking one of my meals per week, eating a food I previously restricted and taking a rest day rather than forcing myself to exercise. If you are not quite ready to give up dieting this year but you want to, I would start by taking one small step today and slowly adding more steps as you feel ready. It took me a long time to give up dieting so be kind to yourself.

12.01.2022 How many times have you forced yourself to go to the gym, not eaten the birthday cake, ordered the salad when you really wanted the burger, didn’t buy the dress, wouldn’t wear the bikini, and said no to the nights out with your mates because you didn’t believe you were deserving until you were thinner? I know how it feels as I did all these things too. And the sad truth is that the only thing that we have shrunk with the pursuit of thinness is our lives. ... I want you to know that you deserve to live your life for now, to take up space , to eat the cake, wear the dress, rock the bikini, to be who you want to be, to have fun, and to be happy, regardless of your body size. I know that you have been fed the message that you aren’t deserving of living fully until you have shrunk your body, but this is utter BS, fuelled by a multi-billion dollar industry whose sole purpose is to keep profiting off our insecurities. But I know from my experience (and yours too) that it is not worth any more pain, and its definitely not worth any more missed moments of life. Instead of shrinking yourself, I encourage you to give a big FU to the industry that tells you that you aren’t good enough unless you deprive yourself. And the first step in doing this is to stop punishing yourself, and to instead treat yourself with the life, and the kindness, that you deserve. Shrinking your body is not your life’s purpose, you are meant for so much more See more

09.01.2022 Even 8 years into my recovery, I still have days where I struggle with my body. But then I remember all the years I spent obsessing over my body, all the conversations I wasn’t present in, all the social invites I turned down, all the swimsuits and dresses that I didn’t wear, and all the movies I couldn’t watch or books I couldn’t concentrate on because all my mind could focus on was my body. And now I know there is no way I could ever go back there again, it is not worth ...the pain, and it’s definitely not worth any more missed moments of my life. I want you to know that healing your body image doesn’t mean you won’t still struggle with your body. What changes is how you feel, and how you move forward with those struggles. In the past, I would have punished myself with restricting food and overexercising, I would have berated myself and told myself that I wasn’t good enough or deserving. But after nearly two decades of doing this, I know firsthand that it doesn’t’ work, in fact, it made it a whole lot worse which is why it went on for so long. But what did work was to stop punishing my body and instead start treating it with the kindness it deserved, no matter how I felt about it. Being kind meant choosing to sleep in over the 5am workout, it meant allowing myself to eat at night rather than go to bed with a growling stomach, it meant wearing clothes that made me feel comfortable, rather than squeezing into them because of the size on the label. If you are in the process of trying to heal your body image, I encourage you to swap the punishment for kindness. And even though your body image struggles may not go away completely, being kind will help you heal your body image and put you in a much more positive, liberating and fun place, one that is certainly a lot better than the constant heartache and pain. Choose kindness over punishment always. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself and your body

07.01.2022 It’s time for a getting to know me post For all my new followers, welcome! My name is Shreen! I am 35 years old, and mum to Bryn, who is 17 months old. I am originally from the UK, but I have been living in Sydney for 10 years. I am a non-diet, body inclusive personal trainer and certified intuitive eating counsellor. I help women break free from dieting, have fun with exercise, as well as develop a positive relationship with food, exercise, and their body.... I have been with my partner Josh for 20 years, we met in a pub when I was 15 years old! My favourite book is pride and prejudice by Jane Austen. I absolutely love reading (proper books though, not a kindle ) and I have always dreamed of having one of those libraries, like the one in Beauty & The Beast. My karaoke song of choice would be Ironic by Alanis Morrisette. Funny story, I once sang, I believe in a thing called love by the Darkness at Rockstar Karaoke, in a pub in London. I was so nervous, that I got drunk beforehand. When I got on stage, the guy hosting told me I was too drunk to sing, but I grabbed the mic off him and sang it anyway. Not my finest hour When I was little, I wanted to be a journalist and I did a writing degree at university. I still love writing (as you probably know by my long captions on Instagram ) If I could be any animal, I would be a cat. They sleep, eat, go on adventures, and get cuddles all day! The craziest thing I have done was go to Cuba when I was 16 years old, my mum told me I couldn’t go, and I went anyway! I have also done 2 sky dives. Is there anything else you would like to know about me?! Happy to answer in the comments! See more

06.01.2022 . ... ' These are some of the click bait articles that popped up in my newsfeed. It was a stark reminder of my past Christmases. , , , . , , ... , ... ... , . And I know some of you might be in this place right now and can’t see a way out, or you might desperately be wanting to get out. Or maybe you have just quit dieting, but you are scared and anxious about allowing yourself to eat foods you previously denied yourself. Or you are in the process of healing your relationship with food and you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed about navigating the dieting messages I know how you feel, as I have fought every one of these battles too, but thankfully I got through to the other side and now my Christmases are not only joyful, but they are guilt and stress free too. You are not alone. I am here to help. So, I wrote a blog to help you have a joyful and stress-free holiday this year. Click here to read http://beyoubefree.com.au/blog See more

02.01.2022 I was at diet rock bottom. There was no way I could go on a diet again, but I still wanted to lose weight. I know you feel this way too. ... I want you to know that you aren’t alone, and that there is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight. Sadly, we live in a culture that is obsessed with weight and dieting. This is because the diet industry is worth nearly 200 billion globally, and they want us to keep obsessing over our body and focused on weight loss, so they can keep profiting off our insecurities. Especially, as they know more than anyone else that diets fail for 95%-98% of us. It’s the perfect repeat business model. It was only when I healed my relationship to food and became an intuitive eater, that I was able to let go of weight loss. This wasn’t easy though. It took me a while to understand that I couldn’t heal my relationship to food and pursue weight loss at the same time. Focusing on weight loss took me away from being able to pursue my passions as I didn’t have the mental capacity for anything else. It meant I couldn’t go on spontaneous pizza nights without worrying about the calories and it also meant I ordered the salad, rather than the burger that I actually wanted, and would go home and end up binging anyway. Once I finally let go, not only was I able to heal my relationship with food, but my life expanded in more ways than I ever thought were possible, and I have never looked back. If you aren’t ready to give up weight loss just yet, it’s OK, you don’t have to. But I would like you to have a think about your last diet, how did it go for you? What did you have to sacrifice? If you are anything like I was back then, you are at rock bottom and there is no way you can face another diet right now. How would you feel about putting weight loss on the back burner, and trying something new with intuitive eating, something that you haven’t tried before? You can always go back to weight loss later if you want too.
