Your Body Is Not The Problem

We have all been raised in a fat phobic society and we are all in some way at least a little fat phobic. It would be difficult to be raised in this society and not be. I know I personally have been fat phobic and have done a lot of work to unlearn the fat phobic beliefs I had in my mind.

Today I am so excited to be joined by Jess Fry, also known as @embodyconfidencecoaching On Instagram and @embodyconfidencecoaching on Tiktok also!

• How fat phobia gets passed down through generations
• How to handle being around those who are fat phobic
• How fat phobia is present for those in smaller bodies & bigger bodies

How To Feel More Beautiful Without Changing Your Body

I think at some point we all go through a time where we struggle to see our body clearly and I've noticed from my personal experiences and those I've helped that CLOTHING can be a big reason why! Between sizing and wearing super tight workout clothing vs. flowy going out clothes, it can definitely increase the difficulty of seeing your body clearly.

I hope this episode can help bring awareness to an area of your body image that could use some work and give you clear directions on how to improve seeing your body clearly!

So you're in the middle of a bad body image day and now what?

Today I share with you multiple ways that you can reset on a bad body image day to try and turn the day around!

So, I split up the tips into 3 categories: Your energy, Your Self -Talk and Your Clothes.

This episode along with the one I share below, are resources you can use when you're struggling to be neutral/positive towards your body.

Your body is NOT the problem!

You're not alone if you struggle to stop eating when you're full or don't like what you're eating!

Maybe you struggle to stop eating because:

• You know you won't allow yourself to eat it again for quite awhile
• You've been raised to always finish everything on your plate/don't waste food
• It tastes so good and you just can't stop
• You're trying to get your monies worth
• You have no energy left to make something different

I can remember thinking all of these things and so today I share with you mindset shifts you can make so that you can be better at listening to your body when you are full and not feeling guilty when you do have to throw out some food!

Your body is NOT the problem!

Nobody was born hating their body or being insecure.

Society created your insecurities because they know they can make so much money and they do!

There's nothing actually wrong with your cellulite or your stretchmarks but they want you to think that because if you do, then they can use your insecurities against you.

Remember, your body is NOT the problem!

Today, I share with you how society targets our insecurities to make more money, a clear example and what to do about it.

Your body is NOT the problem! Here are the other episodes I mentioned:
