Ep 280: What is body checking and how to stop
from Fit Friends Happy Hour · host Katie Hake RDN, LD, CPT
You probably peek at your body every day - whether in your mirror at home or at a quick glance in a shopping window, and it’s normal to look from time to time. But what happens when analyzing your body becomes more frequent and more stressful? This is what’s known as body checking, a behavior that’s very common for people who struggle with body dysmorphia, eating disorders, or even just disordered eating. In today’s episode, I’m chatting about what body checking might look like in your day-to-day life. Plus, I’m digging into the factors that make us susceptible such as our brain’s wiring and the comparison trap on social media. I’m also sharing 3 tips to help you stop body checking so you can drop the shame and guilt that comes with it and make peace with your body.
