Your Body Is Not The Problem

Graeme and I were shopping for a tshirt a few weeks ago and I went in wearing a shirt that was an XL and tried on a shirt that was XXS. When we base our worth on our size we can realize how silly of a metric that is when it's capable of changing within one minute without our body changing. AND EVEN IF OUR BODY DID CHANGE, YOUR BODY IS STILL NOT THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hear what you think of today's episode! Your body is not the problem.

I have been saving quotes I see on social media for you! They're not your typical quote but rather ones that I think pack a punch and will hopefully leave you feeling good and optimisitc! <3

Can't wait to hear what you think of the quotes! DM me on Instagram @_leahtang or tag me in a story with the one you resonate with the most! Your body is not the problem!

Today we discuss five mindsets that can be holding us back from a healthier body image!

These mindsets aren't an issue with you or your brain; they're protection mechanisms, they're influences from society to profit off us, they're learned behaviors.

I hope this episode helps and I can't wait to hear what you think! Your body is not the problem!

Your body is not the problem!

YES! Today I share with you what to look out for and how to be prepared, whether you're getting your wisdom teeth removed and or any other kind of dental work or even going to the doctors for a procedure!

I hope this episode helps support you and I can't wait to hear what you think! Your body is not the problem!

How many times do you find yourself saying "I need," or "I want," or "I should," and/or "I'll try,"?

Today I share with you a word that can replace these and that I believe feels so much better.

Your body is not the problem!

Children can start being aware of their body as young as three years old. Most of us can remember comparing our bodies and feeling insecure as young as ten years old. Body Happy Organization works to help children and young people celebrate, respect and accept all bodies - especially their own. Molly and her team work to stop poor body image from ever starting in the first place!

This episode is for anyone and everyone who has younger humans in their life. We all play a role (alongside society, social media, tv, etc.) in the body image of those around us. Molly shares realistic and doable mindset shifts and actions we can take as the adult to support the younger humans around us.

Today we chat about:

• What a parent should do if their child comes to them saying that they want to be healthy or go on a diet
• How social media imacts the body image of younger humans
• How to approach family members who make comments on your childrens body (even if they're positive/well-intentioned)
• How to know what is the right amount of exercise and how to help them fuel without it being diety

And so much more!

Molly has released two amazing books!

For the Parents - Body Happy Kids

For Children 9+ - Every Body

I saw this meme the other day:

"I hate when I leave the house in my Idgaf clothes and then I start to gaf."

And so I wanted to share some mindset shifts and reminders for when this happens to you!

I used to say I needed to lose weight and I've heard so many others use the same wording and so I wanted to share a mindset shift that will support your body image when it comes to thinking you need to lose weight!

Your body is not the problem!

There are two sentences, comprised of 7 words to respond with INSTEAD of congratulating weight loss. Boring, try something else. Been there, done that and it doesn't actually feel good or help.

Instead, I share with you two super simple sentences you won't forget for the next time you're in a conversation where someone is discussing how a body has changed.

Your body is not the problem!
