44. What To Do On A Bad Body Image Day

Imbodi Health Season 5

At some point, many of us will struggle with distress around our bodies, and have bad body image days. Although this is sadly a very common and normal human experience, it can be really helpful to have a toolbox of coping strategies that help us avoid behaviours like restricting food, dieting, or exercising to try and 'fix' our bodies or improve how we feel about them.

In this episode, Kiah and Meg discuss eight ways to navigate body image distress, including:

  • Wearing comfy clothing
  • Considering how diet culture & modern beauty standards impact us
  • Leaning on your support system
  • Connecting with yourself
  • Avoiding dieting or food restriction
  • Making time for self-care & self-compassion
  • And we chat about our personal experiences with navigating body image

At Imbodi Health, our mission is to empower you to ditch diet culture, make friends with food and find peace with your body. Find your version of ‘whole health’ no matter your body shape or size.

Tune in weekly for bite-sized episodes on all things non-diet nutrition, disordered eating recovery, joyful movement, self-care and body acceptance.
