What We Discuss In This Episode:

Become the expert on your own needs and desires instead of following external diet rules.

  •  Signs of being negatively affected by diet culture.
  • Body checking and comparing yourself to others.
  • Praising before/after weight loss pictures.
  • Most people regain weight, so "after" pictures are often future "before" pictures.
  • Envying those who restrict food better.

Ways to challenge diet culture's influence.

  • Become aware of actions, behaviors, and thoughts. Awareness helps regain power.
  • Create believable new thoughts to replace negative self-talk.
  • Use phrases like "I am learning to appreciate" instead of "I accept" if not yet true.
  • Focus on how activities make you feel good, not how many calories they burn.

 Body image and age

  • Many regret not improving body image and intuitive eating earlier.
  • It's never too late to start. Health is most important, not weight.

Weighing yourself

  • Lisa doesn’t weigh clients and suggests throwing the scale out the window.
  • Weighing can be triggering, even for a coach. Think about only allowing measuring weight for true medical need.
  • You can decline weighing at doctor for non-critical reasons.
  • Focus on measuring happiness, anxiety reduction, etc. rather than weight.

 Intuitive eating tips

  • Ask: "What am I feeling?" and "What do I need?"
  • Name emotions beyond "stressed" or "overwhelmed" using emotion app.
  • Food is the messenger, not the enemy. Meet needs in other ways too.
