Summary
In this episode, we discuss how navigating body image can be hard with all the negativity and comparing yourself to others. Body positivity has helped talk about unrealistic beauty standards and diversity, but always being positive isn't realistic.
Key Points
Body image is the subjective mental representation we have of our physical appearance. It may or may not reflect reality.
Cultural beauty standards are constantly evolving over time.
Historically, body ideals in the US have been informed by the racist, sexist views of white men.
Try appreciating your body's functionality, not just its appearance. This "body neutrality" can help.
Size does not definitively equal health. People of all sizes can be healthy or unhealthy.
Treat yourself with the same kindness you'd show a friend. Spread self-compassion.
Celebrate your unique beauty and humanity.
