Body positivity is good! Or is it? In this episode, we discuss some of the ways that the body positivity movement has been hijacked by diet culture and what we can do to see past the misinformation and call it out. We talk about how focusing on our bodies--even focusing on the things we love--can actually lead to self-objectification and we outline a few steps that can help us to take our body and our experiences back.


The quote by John Berger comes from his essay Ways of Seeing.

The book referenced in the podcast is More Than a Body: Your Body is an Instrument, Not an Ornament by Lindsay Kite Ph.D. and Lexie Kite Ph.D.
