Workout tips for the busy woman:

What made you write your book, “Perfectly Imperfect?”

I wanted to tell my story. When the COVID lockdown started, I committed to writing my book. I wanted to clarify a lot of the misinformation out there on these food disorders.

How can young girls today avoid falling victim to eating disorders?

Workout at home with a high-intensity body weight circuit vs going to a gym. This will save you time and have you burning maximum calories. Aim for the morning for an energized start to the day which also leaves your night open. Set your workout days in your calendar and journal what you did to hold yourself accountable. 2 tarrynnicole.com

Use the stairs, walk further, strap on some light ankle weights, stretch when you can, and throw in some body weight exercises throughout the day.

Don’t partake in restrictive diet methods. Don’t let other people influence how you see yourself. If you have a problem, find someone who can help you. If it doesn’t make you happy, don’t do it. Find a hobby or sport to enjoy and focus on something productive. If you find yourself feeling overly stressed, listen to music, read a book, go for a walk, etc.

Is there any advice would you give to mothers of young girls to help them give their daughters a healthy attitude towards food and body image?

I would tell mothers, “You are their example!” Set it and set a strong one. Our eating habits start at a very early age, and they are introduced by our parents. The foods a child sees as normal will be whatever you introduced when they were young. The same goes for body image. How a child views their body will have a lot to do with the confidence they have in themselves and that has to be taught early on. Tell them they are beautiful and amazing as much as possible, so they see themselves positively. Help them find a sport they are good at to not only build their confidence but to learn what being active feels like. An active body is more inclined to choose a healthy lifestyle mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Don’t point out their imperfections and don’t let them see you constantly point out yours. This teaches your child to constantly put themselves under a microscope. What does the word power mean to you?

Power means strength- mentally, physically, and spiritually! Power is a mindset that many want, but few will master.
