This is why you have body image issues

The Diet Diaries

If you get my weekly newsletter then you know that Ben and I have been watching Friends together since the spring.
I knew he’d love the physical comedy, Joey’s silliness and the New York backdrop.
What I forgot about was the intense body shaming, “fat” Monica and how the show idealized small, thin bodies at the expense of bigger bodies.
I watched Friends from the age of 14-24 and seeing it now, 20 years later, it is blatantly obvious how detrimental it was to my body confidence and self esteem.
We continue to underestimate the way media influences how we feel about our bodies. And now, with social media in our faces nearly every waking hour, the opportunities to compare and idealize only continue to get worse.
In today’s episode I’m talking about how Friends and some other major movies impacted me, why its essential to understand the source of our negative body image and what we can do about it.
