Teaching Your Daughter Body Positivity AND Being a Mom Losing Weight

from This Life Gets Good · host Lauren Melton

If you've ever felt guilty for wanting to lose weight because you're afraid of what it will model for your kids… this episode is for you. So many moms come to work with me carrying this exact fear. They don't want their daughters to see them tracking food or saying no to dessert, and develop a negative relationship with their body. And that fear comes from a real and loving place, but somewhere along the way, the body positivity movement, as necessary and important as it was, swung so far that wanting to feel good in your body has started to feel like a shameful secret. And that overcorrection is doing its own kind of damage.In this episode, I’m having the conversation nobody in this space wants to have about what a genuinely healthy relationship with food actually looks like, and here's a hint, it's not always saying yes. Why tracking your food in front of your kids is not the same as toxic diet culture. What you're actually modeling for your children when you pursue your own health goals with intention. And why teaching your kids that it's okay to say no sometimes might be one of the most important things you can do for them.If this episode resonates and you're ready to stop treating your health goals like something to hide, I'd love to have a conversation with you. Book a $97 1:1 strategy call and let's build an approach that works for you, your goals, and your family. Because you don't have to choose between feeling good in your body and being a great example for your kids.
