Diet Culture gets in the way of food and body freedom
Let's chat about diet culture. Diet culture exploits our deepest fears and desires. It sneaks into our lives, making us believe we are not worthy unless we are striving to fit into the unrealistic, unattainable, and/or unhealthy "thin is best" societal ideals of beauty. We don't get to "opt in" but we DO have the option to "opt out". Have you ever stopped to consider that food and body obsession might not be your fault? How has diet culture impacted your life? Rejecting these messages from diet culture is crucial in order to cultivate a more peaceful relationship with food and your body. What would life be like if you could finally stop obsessing over food and your body?

Body Image Dieting cycle
In this episode, we will chat about why we decide to diet in the first place. Diet culture, beauty ideals and thin is best societal beliefs send us messages that our body is wrong. We often don't stop to question why we want to diet, we just feel like everyone else is doing it and we should too. We feel like our body is wrong and needs to be fixed or improved. Pair negative body image with perfectionistic thinking and we are setting ourselves up for a viscous cycle. Our body weight , shape, or size is in no way a reflection of our character, values, or success. I invite you to consider if your current habits are cultivating a positive body image and improving your life or pulling you further away from what you truly value and what matters most in your life. Your body is not an ornament, your body's job is to keep you alive so you can live a full, rich, meaningful life. Are you caring for yourself in a flexible, adaptable, sustainable manner? Do you have any habits, beliefs, thoughts, or behaviors that are not serving your ultimate values and purpose?

Todays topic: Knowing your cues, when it is time to care for yourself?
In this episode, Beth chats with Wendy O'Leary. Wendy is a speaker, author, and teacher. You can learn more about Wendy and her services by visiting her website: http://www.wendyoleary.com/about-wendy.php
We can all benefit from a flexible, enjoyable, adaptable, and sustainable approach to our health and wellness. Sometimes life just gets busy and complicated. It is easy to focus on our daily responsibilities and obligations and become out of touch with our body. By getting curious and beginning to notice physical sensations, we can learn so much about ourselves and our body. Cultivating body awareness opens us up to the experience of feeling emotions in the body. These bodily cues can be a helpful guide and we can also begin to notice the tendencies of our mind. Noticing our self talk and false refuges can become another cue for us to know when we might need some gentle self care. Once we bring these cues into our awareness, we have the capacity to make good choices and care for ourselves in a skillful manner. By taking a moment to check in with yourself, you are practicing self care at the most foundational and fundamental level. Our bodies are all different, what ways do you notice your body sending out messages? Be curious and play around with some of these ideas if you would like to. We invite you to explore what is happening in your body at any given moment. Do you notice any patterns?

Welcome to the Well Nourished LIFEstyle! Let's leave diet mentality and behaviors behind in 2020!
The habits and behaviors we adopt while in pursuit of a particular body weight, shape, or size are not only unsustainable but they can actually be harmful to your health. Evidence based research has proven that 95-98% of people who lose weight will gain it back within 2-5 years. And more often than not, they tend to gain back more weight than they had initially lost. Sounds pretty hopeless, right? The good news is that you are not a failure. Diets are the problem. Are you feeling obsessed with food, exercise, and your body? Do you have a have a hard time knowing how to live a healthy lifestyle without stressing and obsessing over food, exercise, and your body? Have you heard so many conflicting things about what you "should" eat that you are not sure what "normal" eating actually looks like? You are not alone. You have come to the right place and I am so happy you have joined us! I have created this podcast to help people just like you learn how to live a lifestyle that is truly health promoting, flexible, and sustainable for life. I think we can all agree that we're pretty happy to move on from the year 2020, it has been quite an unpleasant year for many of us in a lot of different ways. I propose we wrap up 2020 leaving diet mentality and dieting behaviors behind for good. Let's adopt a more health promoting, sustainable, joyful, connected, and well nourished approach to wellness for the rest of our lives.
