BONUS: The Body Stories 5 - Am I the Biggest Loser?

Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains swearing.This episode is part of a podcast series: The Body Stories. I’m joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the year, Ali and I are engaged in an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies. These are tender conversations, and at times, I will be in the coaching client seat. We hope that listening in will spark your own exploration of your body story.- At about 75% of the way through, I'm reflecting on the pace of change (it's been both slow and so fast) and how I'm in no rush to get to the 'end'. We talk about self-compassion, the horror show of The Biggest Loser (that I watched religiously!), and finding a way through the sneaky and pervasive all-or-nothing thinking around food and movement.Resources for you:Meet Ali Shapiro.Fit For TV: The Reality of The Biggest LoserSelf-compassion books from Kristin NeffTrain with JoanPast Episodes:Body Stories 1 - Can you love yourself and still want to lose weight?Body Stories 2 - Under-nourished to moderately activeBody Stories 3 - Emotions, embodiment and protein popcornBody Stories 4 - Becoming High Maintenance
