#154: Is Halloween a Fatphobic Holiday?
Manage episode 447903364 series 3291917
You know what’s spooky to me? The ways that diet culture and fatphobia are running rampant this Halloween.
What I’m finding is that a lot of what is happening has been so normalized, that it flies under your radar and keeps you stuck with one foot accidentally in diet culture, and the other in the world of intuitive eating.
So you’re over here, trying to make peace with food, while you’re still receiving and subconsciously buying into these messages that are holding you back. You’re stuck thinking about food all the time, worrying that you’re eating too much sugar, eating impulsively just because you want it, stressing about weight gain, feeling ashamed of your body when you see yourself in photos or look in the mirror, and there’s that little nagging voice in the back of your head constantly telling you that you’re eating too much and that you’d feel better about yourself if you lost some weight.
OF COURSE you’re having a hard time making peace with food when the world around us is constantly sending you these messages, and we’re going to break this down today using Halloween as our example. This is going to be pretty eye opening to you.
