Living in a culture that’s obsessed with food and fitness, we’re taught from a young age that carrying extra weight means that we’re “less than.”
Deep down we know that’s not true.
But unless we’ve been taught how to believe in ourselves and know our innate worth (if only!) for most of us, we let our culture’s fixation on thinness eat away at our self-confidence.
😧 81% of 10 year olds admit to a fear of being fat
😧 50% of girls aged 3-6 are concerned about their weight
😧 and adolescent girls are more worried about gaining weight than they are about losing their parents, getting cancer, or nuclear war.
We come to downgrade our worth.
Little by little, we put our own value into question.
We feel ashamed of ourselves because our bodies don’t meet our culture’s strict and limiting standard of beauty.
We wonder if we are actually flawed, when the real problem is that we haven’t yet learned how to love and accept ourselves as we are.
You are enough because you are, let me help you KNOW that, tune into this week’s podcast.
