The prompts: 1. "This body is mine forever. It does so much for me, it's my job to honor it." 2. "Food is fuel and an experience. Not a cheat or treat meal, not a punishment, not a therapist, not a void filler." 3. "Exercise is not punishment or compensation for something I ate. It's how I pay myself, an investment in myself." 4. "Working out is a gift, not a burden. I am so fortunate to have a body that is a machine. It can heal itself from trauma, it carries me and protects me, and gives me freedom." 5. "Is [insert thing that takes up my time here] ultimately more important than taking care of myself? Is that really the best way to show up for myself and for others?" Support in your fitness at https://www.thefittrials.com/quicklinks
