33: Size Acceptance as a Grief Process

Part of breaking free of dieting and moving towards body acceptance is grieving what you’re leaving behind. Even if you embrace size acceptance, it’s common to still have negative feelings about your own body. You may know that diets don't work, and yet still feel the desire to diet. In today's episode, Abbey talks about size acceptance as a grief process. This is the grief you may experience when you realize diet culture has been selling lies and that you are essentially giving up the fantasy of having an "ideal" body, as well as the life you imagined with it. Abbey shares what happens in and recommendations to cope with each stage of grief. Be sure to rate and subscribe! Join the Fork Diet Culture Community!
