Reclaiming Summer in Your Current Body [ep. 61]
The Body Image Breakdown of Ep.61 of the Body Grievers® Club Podcast
If you were living your best, unapologetic, big beautiful life (in my world we call this living our BUBBLe) — what are you doing?
Imagine this in the context of summer.
If you would have asked me this before I left diet culture, I would have said:
going to the beach with my friends, unafraid of how slow I was
eating all the yummy foods at summer events, instead of a diet version
wearing the damn bathing suit, instead fearful of being the largest person there
When you begin to live your BUBBLe, we get to reclaim experiences.
My summer reclamation includes:
eating ice cream in the summer with everyone else ordering
finding comfy clothes that I love that fit my body
NOT going outside and not feeling bad about it
traveling in the body I HAVE, finding accommodations along the way
So again, I ask you, how would YOU reclaim summer if your distressful body image wasn’t holding you back?
In episode 61 of the podcast, Leah Kern and I discuss reclaiming summer in your current body.
Leah Kern is a registered dietitian and a graduate of my professional Body Image Course — Body Image Bootcamp.
In this episode, we will discuss:
The significance of building a supportive community during the summer
Strategies for managing body image concerns during warmer months
Reclaiming summer joy in the body you have now
Understanding and practicing body neutrality

COMMENT BELOW HOW YOU PLAN TO RECLAIM SUMMER IN YOUR CURRENT BODY.
I am going to reclaim my summer by having as much fun as possible and not worry what I look like in my swim suit or any pictures. Enjoying life is more important than trying to hide myself. I am a wonderful person and I am treating myself that way :)
