Welcome back to the Disrupting Obesity podcast! On today’s episode I’ll be discussing and validating some real feelings you might have or are currently experiencing when faced with your own weight loss journey. I’ll be diving into the ever changing opinions on “idealized weight” and fat shaming in society and the media, as well as how the body positivity movement has some negative aspects you might not have thought about before. Join me as I share more about:
• Ways in which you might try to draw attention away from your body through style or personality.
• The cultural landscape in the 90’s and the brutal “thin is in” trend.
• Why I think the body positivity movement can be reckless and unproductive.
• Why it’s okay to have feelings of fear, shame or embarrassment.
• The benefits of making small changes, even when it feels like it isn’t doing anything in the moment.
• Finding gratefulness and freedom in taking things slow.
Remember, it’s okay to be scared, but don’t let it paralyze you! So keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!
If you’re looking for some help on your weight loss journey I’ve created a couple of resources for you.
•The first one is my free guide getting started for the last time and you can find it here:

•The second is my brand new weight loss workbook Disruptor and you can find it anywhere in the world through Amazon by searching “Disruptor Charlotte Skanes”
