How body positivity can improve your overall health!
It's time to talk body positivity! This week we dive deep into a topic that’s really important for almost every BUF Girl in our community – real, practical strategies you can use to love your body into its healthiest state ever. We hope you enjoy this “On The Couch” interview with our resident weight psychologist, Glenn Mackintosh. In this juicy 20-minute chat, Glenn and I talk about:
Why it’s NORMAL to have a negative body-image
Why body-shame is like being in “The Matrix”
How you can be a body-loving rebel!
Why your negative body thoughts are NOT yours
How you develop your own beauty standards
What triggers Libby’s negative body image thoughts (yes, she has them!)
The affect of body image on eating & exercise
Why we KNOW positive body image is not all about being attractive
How body positivity is NOT a weight loss tool
How we are all like dogs in the dog park!
Knowing the difference between “body weight” and “body image” can change your life
Two strategies Glenn uses to improve the body image of ALMOST EVERY client
How Libby changed her own social media posts after watching one of Glenn’s videos (worth paying attention to if you really want to make a positive impact!)
How your body positivity benefits EVERYONE
How body positivity is closely linked with positivity towards yourself in general
