SSP 115. A Journey Into Food Freedom
-----------------------------------
♦ A Journey into Food Freedom ♦
-----------------------------------
This episode explores how our perceptions shape reality. Scott illustrates how personal and cultural expectations shape the standard of perfection and influence our own body images.
♦ We nurture what we love and we love what we nurture ♦
• People perceive what they see based on their perspectives. Scott illustrates this by using audience participation, showing a series of pictures and asking the viewers what they see.
• Personal perceptions apply to how we view food and diet.
We see what we want to see.
• If a person is disgusted by their own body, they will often sabotage best efforts at weight loss.
We disrespect what we find disrespectful.
• Scott asks: Are you working from a place of self-acceptance or self-rejection?
• The “thin cage” is as much a prison as the “fat cage.” If a person’s lost a lot of weight but still worries about calorie counting, macros, etc., they’ve traded life in one cage for another.
• Physique transformation success Ange Golding achieved permanent weight loss by setting a realistic, achievable goal: to look feminine and be able to wear pretty clothes. She achieved her goal and now lives in food freedom.
• Cultural imprints are powerful and may not reflect realistic body image expectations.
• Ideals of beauty change. Beauty contest winners from the mid-60s were curvier and fuller-figured than ideals who followed.
• Twiggy—with her “streamlined androgynous appeal”—replaced Marilyn Monroe as an ideal body shape. The ideal then went further. The new term became “anorexic heroin chic.”
• Are these ideals realistic and achievable, or unrealistic and unhealthy?
• Women today often want a six-pack, where that would have been unheard of years ago.
• The beauty industry markets products by establishing impossible standards and making consumers feel inadequate. Food and eating issues are often the result.
• Body image and food issues go together.
• Change is a process, not an event. Scott’s new Food Freedom course provides helpful guidance for dealing with body image.
• The first module of Food Freedom is free!
