Ep 8. Body Image

Positive body image is a complex and nuanced subject, but it doesn't have to be. How we see and feel about our bodies directly affects how we treat them and often times we withhold thinking positively about our bodies until we wear a certain size or weigh a certain amount. Then, once we have reached that place, we will finally be "worthy" of having a positive body image. However, studies have shown that changing our bodies in order to have a better body image is not the answer. In fact, if we want to engage in more healthy behaviors, the best way to get started is to change what we think about our bodies and develop a more positive body image FIRST. This episode discusses three principles that you can apply to help improve your body image and move forward with your goals.
