Wellness without the obsession can be a tricky aspect of UNdieting and Intuitive eating because it is so nuanced. The actions you might take may be similar in some regards to dieting actions but the intentions, reasons and flexibility of these actions makes all the difference. Tune in to hear a couple ways you can consider wellness without the obsession that aren't just to add more veggies and not restrict.

On this week's episode on How to Love Your Body, we talk about the difference between coaching and therapy. Both are fabulous and supportive options if you are looking for in depth support but there is a difference! It really depends on where you are at in your UNdiet journey and what you are looking for. Are you looking for a step by step process to Intuitive Eating and Body image with suggestions and supportive advice? Are you looking for a helpful ear to listen to you and dive deeper into your mental and emotional health? No matter what it is you need, you'll be able to find what you are looking for to support you! Tune in for the full conversation and see if coaching or therapy is something for you.

We've been asked this many times - does intuitive eating work? It depends what "working" means. And this depends on one's goals and intentions with pursuing intuitive and UNdieting. Be sure to tune in to tackle what Intuitive Eating working means for YOU! Private coaching info: https://theundiet.lpages.co/  UNdiet Your Mind App: www.undietyourmind.app

Lauren and Jenna have a conversation about self-care and what it really is. Everyone is entitled to their own choices and body autonomy first and foremost! That being said, we wanted to bring up a conversation to create more self-awareness around what we believe is self-care. We brought up topics from the beauty industry such as botox, hair extensions, and spa days to being in nature, allowing yourself to take a break, and hanging out with friends. Is it grooming? Is it compliance? Is it self-care? Tune in for the full conversation and check in with what you believe is truly self-care for you.    Join the UnDiet Your Mind App here: https://thebodylovesociety.com/app   Apply for private coaching here: https://theundiet.lpages.co/  

Today we are diving into the drama that is happening on our Tiktok and Instagram right now.  We called out some very blatant fat phobia in the 2008 Pixar film WALL-E and people were coming out to defend it. I'm not sure what it is about the film that has people ready to deny very obvious anti fat bias but here we are. We talk more about why this is damaging and how anti-fat bias and body image work affect people in different sized bodies in different ways. You can learn more about our private coaching at bit.ly/tblscoaching Or check out our app UnDiet Your Mind to learn from many different experts in the non diet field (we have a new feature with weeklong live Q and As!). xoxo Jenna and Lauren 

On today's episode, Lauren and Jenna talk about the truth behind Health At Every Size. There are a lot of misconceptions about what it is so we wanted to set it straight. Health At Every Size is an amazing way for people who don't want to diet to live their lives. It's focusing on what works well for YOUR body and what it needs without any focus on weight loss. Does that mean there isn't any focus on health? Of course not. A reminder that health does not equal weight. We dive deeper into this conversation...tune in!    Looking for private coaching? We would love to help! Fill out a form here to apply! You can also learn more about the UnDiet Your Mind App here. 

This is a controversial statement but one that is important to discuss. If food addiction is not real, why do I feel addicted to food?

Lauren and Jenna discuss feeling guilty around hunger. As a dieter you may have felt like you weren't allowed to be hungry. If you were hungry you were supposed to ignore it. Maybe you felt hungry "too early" which felt like a forbidden feeling? As an UnDieter, hunger is an opportunity to hone in on your intuitive eating skills and create body trust.  Tune in to this weeks episode to hear the full convo and tips around what to do when you feel hunger.  Book a 20 minute phone consultation to learn about our private coaching here.

This week Lauren and Jenna discuss the realities of self acceptance in a world that is obsessed with looks, weight and "fitting in". Is it fully necessary to accept everything as is? Are there times or considerations where fitting in or conforming is useful?  What is YOUR line when it comes to makeup, hair, clothes and other things that fall into the category of changing the way you look? This is all discussed in this episode and the conclusions may surprise you!  

This conversation may surprise you. Jenna and Lauren discuss instances and nuances where "restriction" may be suitable in the intuitive eating process.

Lauren and Jenna talk about the Spotlight Effect. Ever wonder why you feel like everyone is looking at you or judging you? You walk into a grocery store or get on public transportation and you immediately think that of course everyone is judging the way your body looks etc... If you have ever felt this. Tune into this episode and learn more about the spotlight effect and what skills you can take on to tackle this!  If you enjoy the pod, we would so appreciate if you could rate/review so we can spread the UnDiet message! 

Jenna and Lauren discuss a reel that starts off sounding non-diet but quickly turns into tricky and more subtle than usual diet tips.  This kind of messaging is so common lately now that obvious diet marketing is on the out, it is no longer trendy so diet 'pros' are now using popular language and techniques to sell dieting in sheep's clothing. Tune in to hear the example and learn how to spot diet messaging. You can also get a free Separating Weight & Wellness Workbook here www.thebodylovesociety.com/workbook    

This week on How to Love Your Body, we have a discussion around belonging in a dieting world. Our community of UnDieter's have done some serious rebellious things (according to society). We choose not to diet even though the world tells us to. But does this mean we dislike dieters and they don't belong? Some choose to not dye their grays or get lipo. But does that mean the people that do choose to do these things are bad and wrong and don't belong? Everyone belongs somewhere but maybe we don't have to belong EVERYWHERE.

This week Lauren and Jenna discuss a tv show that just feels tone deaf, a dieting app that we all love to hate (but never seems to die) and some uses of intuitive eating that are WAY off base. It's 2022 and we are ready for the world to catch up!

This week on How to Love Your Body, we dive into a conversation about the difference between nutritional consideration vs nutritional obsession. This isn't about what the person next to you in putting (or not putting) in their bodies. This is about what feels best to you AND the autonomy you have to choose what you put in your body. No good/ bad, right/ wrong. It's your body. We brought up this conversation to dive even deeper into why you do the things you do. It's okay to consider nutrition but when will you draw the line before it turns into nutritional obsession? Tune in to this week's podcast to assess the amount of freedom you have around food and the choices you make.
