In this episode of Poshcast, hosts Pyper and Karla dive deep into the topic of obesity and how it's more than just a physical condition. They discuss the mindset and habits that contribute to obesity, and the importance of prioritising both mental and physical health.
Pyper and Karla share their own personal experiences with food and body issues, and how they have overcome challenges in their journey towards a healthier lifestyle. They also critique the fat-positivity movement, highlighting the potential harm of promoting unhealthy lifestyles under the guise of acceptance. They also discuss the problems associated with being underweight, emphasising that NEITHER end of the spectrum is healthy (for the average person).
Throughout the episode, Pyper and Karla provide talk about strategies for making positive changes towards a healthier lifestyle, including the importance of setting realistic goals, finding a support system, and making sustainable changes to daily habits. Attention is paid to mindset: the girls believe that high self-esteem is not a consequence of appearance, rather it comes from willpower, determination, and understanding that what is best for you is rarely that what is easy for you.
THE DISCUSSION IN THIS EPISODE DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE WITH HEALTH ISSUES OR MEDICATION THAT AFFECTS WEIGHT. OBESITY AND BEING UNDERWEIGHT ARE HEALTH CONCERNS AND SHOULD BE DISCUSSED WITH A DOCTOR OR PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS JUST OUR OPINION.
