This series is about YOU. YOUR body stories. YOUR relationship to food and movement, YOUR dieting and un-dieting history and how you feel in the body you're in.
Ela and I wanted to understand more about the issues you are dealing with when it comes to body acceptance, intuitive eating and listening to your body. How can we navigate a world where thinness is valued above all else and the fitness industry has become diet culture dressed in spandex!
First up is Abi, who is a very valued member of the Body Image Fitness community (check out 'Thin Privilege, Oprah and Wearing the Damn Shorts' for my chat with Kim Stacey, founder of Body Image Fitness- the Non-diet, shame free fitness platform for ALL bodies. )
Abi is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for the NHS and is a very committed member of Body Image Fitness. She likes to 'hang loose and talk bollocks' with her husband, loves comedy and loves to dance and lifting heavy stuff.
Abi has reclaimed the term fat for herself, and despite struggling with body image and confidence in the past, she is now a strong social justice and fat liberation advocate.
Listen to HER story and as Bri Campos likes to say not her' journey' but her body image excavation.
Such a joy to chat with Abi and we'd love to know YOUR body story.
Please reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement. Ela currently has limited spaces for Intuitive Eating coaching and if you'd like to reconnect with movement, contact Christine.
AND if you enjoyed this episode, please share and follow the 'Find Your Strong podcast' and if you have time, write us a short review. It would honestly mean the world. Love to you all, Ela & Christine x
