Diet, Riot, Sweat, Repeat - Understanding the Origins of Body Terrorism: The Eating Disorder Episode

Understanding the Origins of Body Terrorism: The Eating Disorder Episode

02/26/23 • 16 min

Wellll...this is a podcast about exploring the origins of our body image messages. I am certainly not an expert- just a 49 year-old post-hysterectomy woman trying to finally learn to love this body I am in. This past week was a tough one for me. My disordered eating and distorted body image issues went through the roof.
I bought Sonya Renee Taylor's book: The Body is Not an Apology and was blown away by the messages in her book. It helped my disordered funk so much! For the next few episodes, I am going to explore a few of the concepts that Sonya brings to the forefront. She is all about smashing the systems of oppression that create Body Terrorism and move into Radical Self-love.

Lessons from the Voluptuous Woman at the Spa

I see beauty in so many different bodies- why can't I see beauty in mine?
This episode reflect on the time I encountered a beautiful, full-figured grandmother at the spa. I saw so much beauty in her wrinkles, rolls, and curves. I saw beauty and a life-time of love in her worn hands and ample, grandmotherly bosom. And yet, i could not see that beauty in my own body.
Why do we judge ourselves so harshly?

Dieting to Live or dieting to Shrink

1 Recommendations

Diet-the word can have such a painful connotation. Are you lowercase "d" dieting to shrink yourself, loose inches, loose weight, and fit into some societal norm. Or are you capitial "D" Dieting to live. That means you look at your Diet as the food you are eating to nourish yourself, fuel your body and feel better.
This episode explores the difference as well as spending money on your body out of shame versus out of love.
In this episode I refer to my nutritionist and holistic health practitioner, Tamara Renee. You can find Tamara Renee here.
