ways you can celebrate your body

  • Today I love, appreciate, and accept all of me, just as I am in this moment.

  • I appreciate my body and what it does for me every day.

  • My worth is not determined by what others think of me or my body.

  • The food I choose to eat does not define me as a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ person.

  • Today I will be kind to my body and honour the messages it sends me.

  • I am allowed to eat the food I enjoy.

  • Today I will focus on what I can add to my diet rather than what I can take away.

  • This week I will choose to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable and confident.

  • It is okay if I don’t always feel confident in my body.

  • I have the freedom to enjoy the food that I eat without guilt.

  • I trust that my body knows what to do with the food that I eat.

  • What my body looks like is nobody else’s business.

  • You don’t always have to meal prep, sometimes it’s nice to embrace what you feel like.

  • A gentle reminder that there are going to be days when we feel confident and others when we don’t.

  • Movement can be enjoyable.

  • Self-care is just as important as what we eat.

  • This week I am going to make time to do something that brings me joy.

  • We are so much more than what we look like.

  • I am proud of my body.

  • My body is my home.

  • This week I will shift my focus from what I look like on the outside to how I feel on the inside.

  • Choosing to rest is just as important as choosing to move.

  • My mental health is as much a priority as my physical health.

  • Remember, our health involves so much more than just food choices.

  • Movement can be a celebration of what my body can do.

  • Remember, our worth is not defined by the way that we look.

our impact

  • “I didn’t realise until today that I had been struggling with my body image. I felt I could relate to Gel’s story - it really opened my eyes. It really assisted in shifting my perspective of my own personal struggles with body image. Now I feel so empowered and uplifted.”

  • “This was a wonderful opportunity to get into the kitchen while learning about health and nutrition from an expert. I really enjoyed cooking along with everyone and hearing Angelica’s advice and experiences.”

  • “Angelica is relatable, creative, engaging and resourceful and caters to different year levels. She always maintains a positive, can-do attitude, organised, punctual and professional and authentic manner.”
