The most harmful part of social media to your body image

Today’s episode of The Diet Diaries is one of those where I got an idea and had to immediately record because it was the only thing I could think about.And what I’m talking about today is the “do what I do and you’ll look like me” story that dominates social media and is one of the major sources of your unhappiness with your own body and why you are stuck in the endless diet cycle. This episode is about letting you know that you are not alone in your frustration and anger and self blame. Because I walk over 10k steps a day. I go to Pilates once a week. I strength train twice a week.  Go to dance class once a week. Eat at least 120 G protein each day. Have sweets/dessert everyday.Eat veggies with almost every lunch and dinner. Pay attention to portions to match my body’s needs. Sleep 8 hours a night. Haven’t binged in years. And I am a size 12 with a belly that rolls and folds and bulges. But everything on social media tells you if you’re doing all of these things you should be smaller and leaner.  Which then automatically makes you think there is something wrong with you. But there isn't. Because that is not how the human body works. Another woman could do all of the same things I do and be a size 4 with a six pack. Another could be a size 16 and carry their weight in their thighs. And that is 100% normal and ok.Because we can’t control outcomes. That’s why we have to do these actions bc of how they make us feel and how we want to show up in the world. So today I’m talking about why this message is so problematic and how you can protect yourself from it.
