Challenging Shame-Based Narratives: How Shame will NEVER get you to Sustainable Health and Wellness

Bites & Body Love (v)

Can you imagine a world where we approach health and wellness not through shame and self-loathing, but with self-compassion and respect? We're here to shine a light on just that. We unravel the damaging role of shame as a motivator in the diet industry, exploring the insidious ways diet culture and weight loss ads prey on our insecurities and fears. Instead, we advocate for a sustainable, respectful, and compassionate relationship with our food and bodies.
We dig into the reasons why shame is an ineffective—often destructive—motivator. It breeds negativity and self-doubt, ultimately eroding our trust in ourselves and causing unnecessary psychological stress. And, while it's true, shame can influence behavior change, it's far from conducive to forming lasting, healthy habits. So, we're here to challenge the shame-based narratives and propose an alternative: a supportive, community-focused approach to health and wellness that promotes self-compassion instead of self-judgment. Join us on this enlightening journey toward a healthier relationship with food and body.
