Ep. 484: Staying Mindful of Body Obsession Extremes

We may have worked through our dieting obsessions and pushing our bodies to extremes, but that doesn’t mean everyone else has. Every now and then we see another person, stuck in the same cycle of food and body obsession that we were on in our younger years, and we can’t help but feel sad for them. Everyone has the right to the full life experience they desire, but seeing someone trapped in a mindset that hurt us for so long is difficult to watch. That’s why it’s so important to stay mindful of the ways we think of and talk about ourselves—after years, we’ve made peace with our bodies, and we’d like to keep it that way.Things fall apart after 40 [1:43]The extremes of body image [5:41]Have the full experience, but know the downsides [8:34]The slippery slope [11:44]The benefits of muscle [14:08]Why an obsession with the scale hurts you [17:12]Is it okay to want to like the way you look?
