EP66: The Consequences of Chasing Body Type "Trends"

Every day, millions of people post photos on social media of their "transformation" and their new body type. But is there a cost to these trends? Listen in as Christina and Brittany explore the consequences of chasing body type "trends," how society's obsession with idealized and unrealistic body types can be very dangerous, and why it might be better to just listen to your body.

In this episode, they talk about:

• The negative consequences of trying to live up to body type trends.
• Body image ideals are ever-changing
• Reasons why you should never chase a trend when it comes to your body
• Understanding and acknowledging that your worth is not attached to your body
• Advice on how to live a balanced life and learn what's important

Memorable Quotes:

"And here is the thing about body image ideals. They are ever-changing. It is constant and there is no such thing as the ideal body… You will always wind up feeling defeated and trying to chase that next trend because it's absolutely constant and it's always, always changing."

"This whole journey into loving yourself starts on the inside. Because if you don't love what you have going on on the inside and who you are as a person, you're not gonna get very far."

"There's never gonna be that perfect body. So stay true to who you are, who you wanna become, and just know that your worth is not attached to your physical being."
