How Diet Culture is Sabotaging You and Keeping You Stuck
What is Diet Culture?
I guarantee you have internalized diet culture messages and don't even realize it.
Have you ever thought:
- I'm not losing weight on this diet, what's wrong with me?
- That food is bad, I can't eat that, it'll make me fat
- I wish my (insert body part) looked like that/hers
- I don't have enough willpower to stay skinny
- I can't wear that, I'm too fat
- the only way to lose weight is to cut calories and exercise harder
- hmmmm one "weird secret" to lose weight fast? I'm in!
- I worked out, I deserve that piece of cake
- I totally ate "bad" yesterday so I did an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill today
Oh you have? Ya me too. These are ALL diet culture messages that we have internalized as truth. Diet culture is the pervasive belief system that values looks above health. It attaches worthiness to your ability to ability to look, eat, exercise etc. in the ways diet culture says are acceptable.
Today my objective is to bring your awareness to what diet culture is, how it has already shaped your thoughts about yourself and others, and how you can start overcoming that. I want to be super clear that even though I'm DEFINITELY going to be challenging you today, and you might feel really triggered at times, my intention is never to blame or shame. I'm challenging with love, because sometimes change requires some difficult self reflection.

Ditch the Diets and Finally Make Peace with Food
If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you know how hard it is to make any real lasting change. Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral that starts the whole process over again.
If you don’t understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.
That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting transformation in your Mind AND Body.
