Body positivity after 40

Body positivity. Learning to accept yourself as you are now.

I had a client who told me she never bought nice clothes and hadn’t done for years. She didn’t want to spend money on dressing a body she didn’t like and wanted desperately to change.

Dieting can make this worse because the traditional diet culture views food only as calories that make you fatter or thinner and exercise as something that burns calories.

In the video I discuss these questions:

If you are on a diet does that mean you don’t like your body

If you want to practice body positivity does that mean you can’t diet and have to eat whatever you feel like?

I’ll also talk about how important it is to change the way you think about food and stop thinking about bloody calories all the time!

I explain why the best place to start is by caring for your appearance. Wearing clothes that make you feel good and putting care into how you look after yourself.

And I tell the story of the voluptuous woman in a polka dot tutu dress who captivated an entire restaurant with her mesmerising confidence and how she changed how I defined attractive.
