Article 1: How I Found Peace With My Body

https://www.girlsgonestrong.com/blog/mindset/found-peace-body/

"About six years ago, I was invited to a pool party with a bunch of my closest friends. Rather than feeling excitement, I was overcome with a sense of dread. Going to a pool party meant wearing a bikini, and I was so incredibly self-conscious that I didn’t go."

This is such a great article about accepting your body for what it is right now. Stay away from the scales, see all of yourself, not just the image in the mirror, take up a new hobby that makes you feel good and find your purpose in life - hint, your purpose is not to constantly battle for what you think is the ideal body!

Article 3: Use Mindfulness to Kill Cravings

"Start by asking yourself ‘What does my body want and why?’ Snodgrass says. It might feel silly at first, but sitting with the craving for a while can lead to helpful insights about its origin."

Really think about what your body is asking for and if your need is genuine hunger or comfort related. If you are constantly craving chocolate specifically be sure to include magnesium rich foods in your diet, such as, avocado, nuts and leafy greens.
