TW: Dieting and Beauty Standards


Listen Later

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode and the following description contain details of dieting experiences, restricting caloric intake, and thoughts of eating disorders

DISCLAIMER: We do not in any way encourage eating disorders or attempting of the extreme diets mentioned in the podcast episode.


This was a heavy topic for us to talk about, and we assume it may be for some of our listeners. In this episode, we talk about meeting the beauty standards and how these standards in Korea may compare to those of America. We also talk about our experiences with various types of diets to lose weight or somehow work towards the body image we wish to achieve. 

Body positivity is embracing the physical appearance of oneself, regardless of society's standards and expectations. We completely agree with the concept of body positivity, and as you may tell, it is something we are still working to achieve. We are growing to understand that there are so many more factors that define us as individuals than just weight or body shape, and we wish that our listeners would feel the same about themselves.

We wish that our listeners would be able to listen to this episode solely to relate and reflect on their personal experiences.
