Episode 261: The Shoulds & Shames of Weight Loss | Legacy Series
Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen on Spotify
When it comes to weight, body image, and our intentions surrounding it, women often receive messaging that promotes weight loss as salvation AND anti-diet messages that promote body acceptance as the only way. These black and white messages create fragmentation within ourselves and shame surrounding whichever direction we lean.
It’s not wrong to have a body image goal, but in order to achieve sustainable change, health and wellbeing, it’s necessary to understand the “why” behind these goals first. Today on the show Erin taps into these “whys” to really get to the root of our body intentions and offers up questions to uncover our own belief patterns.
