Your Body Is Not The Problem

I know I'm not the only one who has found oneself feeling EXTRA self conscious in a gym setting! We're worried about making others feel uncomfortable, what is 'appropiate' for us to wear, all while feeling uncomfortable wearing too many layers because we're afraid to wear what we really want to wear!

Today, I share my personal experience being back in a gym setting and examples of where some of your thoughts may have been coming from!

If you want to get more comfortable wearing what you want to wear at the gym, then this episode is for YOU!

In my opinion, vacations are meant to be fun and help you feel GOOD!

But so many of us start stressing before the vacation even starts because of our poor body image and it continues during and after the vacation is over!

• You start stressing about what diet you'll do beforehand to lose weight
• What will you be able to eat on vacay
• Will you workout
• Will you not workout
• What if you gain weight on vacation
• What if people see our stretch marks
• What will I wear

Sooooo many things start racing through our minds and honestly a lot of my advice comes back to the same thing, listening to your body! But I share so much in this episode to help you feel prepared to have a fun vacation where you're not stressing before, during and after and so that you can go on vacation and actually be present!

Your body is NOT the problem!

In a world where everyone is trying to tell you what to eat/ what not to eat, what's healthy/ what's unhealthy and what's good/ and what's bad, it can be difficult to know what the heck you should actually be eating!

This method isn't telling you what to eat or how much to eat but it's a way to determine whether or not you want to eat something and it's based off of two factors that I share in today's episode.

I hope this helps you feel your best and make more informed decisions for your body so that you two can be the best team together!

Your body is NOT the problem!

Have you ever been worried about your partner noticing that you've gained weight? Has gaining weight in your relationship made you feel less beautiful, worthy and enough? Has gaining weight made you feel more insecure in your relationship?

People are always talking about Freshman 15 and now I feel like many talk about Relationship 15.

Well, for Graeme and I, we had relationship 80. We started dating when we were 15 and between 17 and 19 I gained 80lbs due to numerous reasons but seeing as I already had poor body image, my body image only got worse. I struggled with seeing myself as more than just a body and at my heaviest I truly believed I had a bad body because of society. I ended up losing a lot of weight between 2016 & 2017 but because I had poor body image and didn't understand anything really about health, I lost a lot of weight in an unhealthy way and remained unhealthy AND as Graeme mentions, losing weight actually made me objectify myself MORE!

So today, we wanted to have a conversation and share some of the things we learned and would do differently after experiencing significant weight gain during our relationship.

We talk about comments Graeme made about my body that didn't help and whether or not he could have done things differently. We discuss how to bring up health to your partner who may be feeling like they just need to lose weight to feel more beautiful and SO MUCH MORE!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts after listening to this discussion. Don't forget to screenshot the episode and tag me on IG @_leahtang with your thoughts!
