Many of our first messages about body image, weight, and food, came from our mothers and stick with us for decades. Now, we love moms and love being moms, but in this episode, Meghan Yoho, MA, LCMHC, joins Christy to discuss how we can unlearn those messages, avoid passing them onto to our own children, and when you should see a registered dietitian vs. a therapist when struggling with an eating disorder.
Some key takeaways from this episode include:
- Think about how you feel your weight is holding you back through perfectionist, societal standards. Instead of waiting until you hit a certain weight to enjoy things, think about how you can still enjoy the event in the body you have right now.
- Even if you aren’t saying things to your kids that promote poor body image, they are picking up signals based on how you treat your own body. Things like body checking yourself in the mirror or constantly getting plastic surgery can confuse our kids about how we “should” look.
- One of the best things you can do for yourself is to wear comfortable clothes, regardless of the size. Once you feel comfortable in the clothes that will be on your body every day, then you can dig into the emotions behind your body image.
