Great episode!! Such important topics! Body image should be a form of gratitude & pride for ourselves for all our bodies do for us. And learning to talk about it along with our grief so we don't carry shame or buried feelings is so essential 💖✨️😊
I don’t know why people feel the need to comment on my body every time they see me. I’ve always been super fit and lean. Women would follow me around the grocery store and ask what my diet was or what I did to get arms like that. my mother and sister were jealous and would accuse me of being anorexic when I wasn’t at all. I was just a runner and in phenomenal shape. I’m Chelsea‘s age and I just went through a trauma suddenly 10 pounds packed on and the weight is stuck there. Now when I run into people, I haven’t seen in a half a year. They’re like oh you’ve gained weight. Need to say something that I already know. I would never comment on someone else’s body or point out that they’ve put on weight.
This is a wonderful conversation that we can all benefit from listening to. I was in great shape until my mid 50's. I'm 64 now and am only just starting to re train my mind into stopping worrying about my waist not being small enough or my arms not being as large as they once were. Body shaming affects everyone at any age and it's so mentally and physically damaging. Thank you for this podcast.
We need to stop judging people's worth on their appearance. I celebrate beauty as my birthright, I cultivate my health with great satisfaction, and I move into the serenity and wisdom of age with quiet joy, shielding my thoughts and attention from toxic ageism.
When we go into a job interview it is the first thing we are automatically judged on, our appearance. Your looks could make or break whether or not you get a job. It’s sad but true.
I’ve always been super fit and lean with a runners/pilates body. But I recently went through a rough break up of 4 1/2 years and lost my grandmother who was like a mother to me. And I put on 10 pounds. Now it’s the first thing anyone comments on when they see me. It’s really frustrating that the first thing people need to comment on is my body. I’m aware I’ve gained weight. I have a mirror. But it’s especially frustrating because now that I’m older, until saved. This isn’t coming off like it used to. I even tried doing a 36 hour fast and ended up gaining weight. So bummed out and frustrated.
The one thing I do not find attractive or sexy is a man that’s constantly talking about his weight. And now that I’m back on the dating scene, I’m meeting a lot of guys that are constantly talking about what they need to do with the gym or their diet or their weight it’s like dating a girl. Actually triggering ..
Absolutely. That's very unattractive. Of course it's triggering. Many men struggle with weight & food issues & unhealthy perceptions of their own physicality. It's interesting 🤔 these days ppl are very shallow insecure & narcissistic. Definitely try to avoid that type. But on the contrary if we flip it we can also then see how that type of self insecurity of our bodies could be unattractive for some men as well bc instinctively we all know if someone isn't happy with themselves they can't be happy or healthy for someone else. Maybe even though currently you're meeting a lot of guys that way look outside for another way of connecting with different types of guys. Farmers are too busy to be vain. Make an effort to get your friends to occasionally do something different like bowling or boating horseback riding 4 wheeling hiking. Something that opens up another opportunity for meeting someone different & out there living & doing & not 💪 flexing for a salad & constantly getting on a scale 😂. That's my advice. Good luck out there be VERY careful always! 🫶

Thank you for such a great show.
I also have lead pencil stuck in my leg from kindergarten. What in the hell were we doing stabbing each other with pencils as kids?! 🤷♀️🤣
My sister has it in her chest from a pencil stabbing in first or second grade.

@@HH-gv8mx It is sad & it shouldn't be that way. We've missed out on many more qualified & capable ppl that way.

confidence and health are different things. they're not mutually exclusive. there's nothing wrong with wanting both.
The number on jeans literally means nothing. One day I’m a 3, one day 6, one day an 8. Sometimes jeans from the same damn store!!
Sexy comes from confidence. She needs to ask herself what she finds so attractive & sexy ab her partner ? Is it his body or his confidence?
