Ep 134: Finding Happiness Beyond Weight Loss - Day 2 The Weighting Game Series with Leslie Schilling and Bianca Juarez Olthoff


Listen Later

Does it seem like everywhere you go someone is asking you for your weight? Are you tired of obsessing over the number on your weight scale? Real talk - I’m tired too! 

Let’s be honest friends, talking about weight issues is uncomfortable. That’s why Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Therapist is back with us for day 2 of The Weighting Game series. Today we discuss:

  • The issues with the scale 
  • Bodies are miracles, not math
  • Weight-centric training and health
  • The flaws of BMI and Body Fat Percentage
  • Recognizing disordered eating and body grief
  • Determining health and wholeness beyond numbers
  • There are so many dangers in pursuing an unrealistic body image. We need to recognize that body diversity is important in our society and that there is no one-size-fits-all definition of health. Overall health and well-being start with healthy connections and relationships. Let’s make it a goal to prioritize holistic health and freedom from diet culture.

    You are not alone, friend. Tag me @biancaolthoff and @leslieschilling and share how you are finding food freedom in your life.

    Love,

    B

    We have to come to grips with the fact that you may never be in the body that this culture promised you.

    Takeaways

    1. Weight-centric training and the focus on the number on the scale can be harmful and perpetuate diet culture.
    2. Health is multifaceted and cannot be determined solely by weight or body size.
    3. Body diversity is important, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of health.
    4. Connections and relationships play a significant role in overall health and well-being.
    5. BMI is not an accurate or reliable measure of health, and body fat percentage should be considered instead.
    6. Disordered eating can manifest in various ways and is not limited to extreme cases.
    7. Determining health and wholeness should involve regular nourishment, movement, good relationships, and self-care.
    8. The goal is to prioritize holistic health and freedom from the constraints of diet culture.
