The Truth About What It Means To Love Your Body and Eat What You Want with Dr. Alexis Conason

Happy Satiated Saturday! It has become this norm that we "should" all be trying to lose weight all the time. And because of this, of course, you would want to lose weight. Your body seeks attunement with other bodies. When everyone around you is also trying to lose weight, your body interprets this as the path to safety and connection. Releasing the need to change your body’s weight can feel scary and even threatening to your well-being. We need others to survive. If those you rely on connect with you over dieting and losing weight, an association can occur that not dieting is dangerous to your survival.It can take time and practice to question the impulse to change your body's appearance. By practicing this though, you will start to be the person who sends a message to other bodies that safety and belonging can occur simply through being together as we are.In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Alexis Conason, Clinical Psychologist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist about: The anti-diet movement and what it isDiet culture trying to co-opt mindful eatingBody image challengesBuilding resiliency against diet cultureThe importance of self compassionNavigating food choices mindfullyWhat eating what you want actually meansAction steps you can take to practice anti-dietingYou can read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/what-it-means-to-love-your-body-and-eat-what-you-wantDoors closing to the Somatic Eating® Program on Monday at midnight. JOIN THE SOMATIC EATING® PROGRAM!: https://www.somaticeating.com/With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Alexis:Website: https://drconason.com/ https://www.conasonpsychologicalservices.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theantidietplan/Book: The Diet Free RevolutionSupport 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...
