If you’re in the Bay Area next week, join me, Jessica Defino and Moira Donegan at the Stanford Humanities Center on Tuesday, February 18 @ 4pm for “Fatphobia In the Age of Ozempic.”
Checking in weekly with your body image can help you feel less overwhelmed and may even help you spot positive or negative patterns. Let’s do this!
No matter how you answered, kudos for taking the time to notice how you feel. Next question…
Having a small, easy action item helps you learn to take care of yourself and your body image. Ready for your last check-in question?
This week, notice if checking in with your body image helped you feel more empowered.
Scroll down & hit play to do a brand new visualization with me and listen to this week’s body image lesson.
This week, let’s apply the theme of PLAY to our body image work.
Whenever I think of play, I think of the truly expansive range of embodied motion we have as children - before we’re introduced to fatphobia, diet culture and toxic fitness culture. Through play, we run, chase, hide, get up on our tippy toes to touch the highest branch, stretch, wiggle, roll, climb. We experiment, and there is no such thing as failure in this world of play because “success” (or narrow and toxic notions of health or beauty or fitness) is not the point. Fun is the point.
