If you’re embarking on a body acceptance journey, you may still have that little voice at the back of your mind saying ‘but I don’t want to gain weight!’. It makes sense - you’ve been told your entire life that being bigger is bad and that larger bodies don’t receive the same privilege and respect. Weight stigma is a huge problem within society, and - as today’s guest, Jo Reader or ‘The Body Empowerment Coach’, will share - even within the psychologists’ therapy room.
In this episode, Jo and I speak about:
Her experience from always being ‘the fat one’ to reaching a place of body acceptanceWeight stigma in the psychologists’ therapy roomHow to handle the fear of gaining weight when working on body acceptanceMeasuring your progress in your body and food freedom journeyHow generational trauma impacts our feelings about bodiesThe racist and ableist undertones of weight stigma and BMIConcern trolling and the trope of the ‘good fatty’Follow Jo on Instagram or visit her website.
