Satiated Episode 129: Transitioning into Summer with Body Compassion and Confidence

Happy Satiated Saturday! We are at that time of year where you may find yourself pulling out your summer clothing and having all sorts of judgments arise around clothes that perhaps don't fit anymore or needing to change your body to wear that bathing suit you want to wear at the beach. The idea of a "summer body" or a "bikini body" is a creation of the diet and fitness industries. Think about it...if you didn't feel like you needed to change your body for warmer weather, diet programs and summer workout bootcamps would potentially go out of business. You would find clothes that feel comfortable on your current body and go on your merry way.In this week’s episode, I talk with Cherie Miller about transitioning into summer with more discernment and curiosity around the external messages you receive at this time of year, what quasi-healing is when it comes to healing patterns of disordered eating, and how getting comfortable with discomfort and compassion are huge components on this food and body healing adventure. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/transitioning-into-summer-with-body-compassion-and-confidenceYou may have a routine of how you transition into summertime. Get curious this year if those thoughts or judgments or inner dialogues bring you into closer connection with you and the kind of relationship you want to be having with your body. You can catch those habitual reactions to your body, pause, and redirect. You get to choose how you want to be relating to yourself in any moment. With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Cherie here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodfreedomtherapist/Website: www.foodfreedomtherapy.comContact: [email protected] mentioned in this episode:Kristin Neff: https://self-compassion.org/Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to YourselfThe Mindful Self-Compassion WorkbookIntuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse ReschSupportive Hashtags to look up:#fatliberation #weightstigma #fatphobia #riotsnotdiets #dietsdontwork #losehatenotweight #bodyliberation #fatactivism #fatliberation #fatpositivity #fatacceptance #fatpositive #endweightstigma #fatbodypositivity #weightbias #fatshaming #bodyneutrality #fatisnotabadword #bodyacceptance #allbodiesaregoodbodies #bodyneutral #bodyrespect Keep in touch with Stephanie Mara here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: [email protected] thanks to Bendsound for the intro music in this episode. www.bensound.comSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: [email protected] the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...
