Episode description

There's something in your past that will cause you to spend a lifetime battling with body image. Discover how to pinpoint the key turning points in your relationship with food, weight and well-being. Join Linda as she shares her stories of recovery, self-compassion and her struggles with perfectionism and post-natal depression. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Your childhood experiences will have influenced the way that you act towards food, exercise, friends, family and fitting in today. There will be something in your past that means you spend a lifetime battling with body image.

 

  • Instinctively our bodies and brains fight against deprivation because you think that you will be happier and healthier if you achieve the body you perceive to be perfect.

  • Self-compassion and self-respect can transform how you think about your body image. Often people battle with perfectionism and end up depriving themselves but if you're aware of the tools that can help you and you're mindful of adverse childhood experiences and traumas you can take back control of your life.

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“When I was stuck in my subconscious with preset descriptors of what I should look like I would start to deprive myself”

“Self-compassion and self-respect can transform how you think about your body image.”
