What You're Craving with Molly Carmel

118. Is the Diet Industry Preventing You from Forgiving Yourself?


Listen Later

Join this week's episode as Molly talks about how women can break free from the unrealistic beauty standards imposed by diet culture. Women of all ages suffer every day, trying to achieve unrealistic goals. These goals are not their own; they result from decades and decades of what society thinks is right.

During this process, we start to feel guilt, frustration, and a sense of hatred for our own bodies. We tend to hold on to the wrong beliefs - and the crazy diets. How do we break free from this cycle? How do we drop the scarcity mentality and embrace the part of us that wants to heal? How do we stop believing in a culture so ingrained in our minds?

If you don't have answers to these questions, this episode is for you. It's time to regain control of your own self-worth and self-esteem. Healing takes courage, but believing you can is the most important first step.

Episode Quotes

  • “We are really stuck in this abusive relationship with diet culture, that is draining all of our energy.”
  • “Choice is the most powerful tool around. We choose to forgive, we choose to get out of this relationship… imperfectly, but we do it.”
