• Energy check: (1-10) How tired am I today?
• Hunger check: Am I hungry, bored, sad, or thirsty?
• Movement check: What movement sounds enjoyable today? (Walk? Stretch? Nothing?)
• Self-talk check: Did I say anything about my body that I wouldn't say to my best friend?
• Win of the day: (e.g., "I stopped eating when I was full" or "I wore shorts.")

• Gyms with benches that support higher weight capacities.
• Wellness retreats that are wheelchair accessible.
• Doctors who treat symptoms rather than blaming every ailment on BMI.

Embracing body positivity and a wellness lifestyle is a journey, not a destination. It's about cultivating a deeper understanding of ourselves and our bodies, and making conscious choices that support our overall well-being. By prioritizing self-love, self-acceptance, and self-care, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive society that values every body. So, join the movement and start your journey to body positivity and wellness today!

• Acknowledge without judgment: "I have legs. They work well enough to walk to the mailbox."
• Functional appreciation: Instead of "I love my thighs," try "My thighs carry me to see my friends."
• Separate worth from aesthetics: Your value as a human being does not reside in your waist-to-hip ratio.
