Episode 172: Can we stop using this word to talk about clothes?


Listen Later

Hello friends!

Episode 172 of The Diet Diaries covers yet another topic around body confidence: what does the word “flattering” really mean? 

I’ve been giving this a lot of thought over recent months after a convo with a friend and why it's so tied to making us look thinner or hiding certain parts of our bodies. It's sparked some thoughts on how we could shift our perspective to embrace clothes that simply make us feel great - because isn't that what actually matters? 

Here are some questions I talk through today:

  • What does "flattering" mean to you? Is it about feeling good, or is it tangled up in looking a certain way?
  • Can we find a way to compliment ourselves and others without focusing on body size or shape?
  • Why do we hold onto certain narratives about what we can or cannot wear based on our bodies?

In this episode, I share a personal take on why I believe that if something fits well, feels comfortable, and you absolutely love it, it's inherently flattering - no caveats needed. Plus, a little nudge to challenge those deeply engrained stories we tell ourselves about our bodies and fashion.
