Registered Dietitian and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist had the privilege of being a guest on the podcast The Modern Moms Roadmap to Balance.
In this episode we discussed many points that will challenge your beliefs about body image, dieting, and self-acceptance. We discuss the concept of balance and living within our values, which can shift depending on life's season. We discuss the importance of radical acceptance, gratitude, and the flexibility of routines. Tune in to gain some invaluable insights on how to maintain balance in the whirlwind of life.
In the pursuit of an 'ideal body,' we often tie our self-worth to the scale, and we unpack this complex issue. We discuss the unrealistic expectations set by the BMI and ideal body weight measurements. For those struggling with drastic body changes, this episode offers some hard truths, refreshing perspectives, and practical tips.
Finally, we confront the fear of not being accepted, a fear that often manifests in our relationship with our bodies. We question the flawed dieting system, emphasizing that it's not about willpower but about self-compassion and understanding. During this episode we propose bold steps like getting rid of clothes that don't fit and taking the focus off dieting and onto acceptance. We wrap up the episode by introducing you to Dallas Nutritional Counseling’s unique counseling approach, which addresses the why, when, and how of eating, and is available both in-person and virtually. Embark on this enlightening journey with us to understand how to live a balanced life and embrace our bodies.
