My Favourite Non-Diet & Body Image Resources
If you know me, you’ll likely know that I’m all for transforming your relationship with food and with yourself. When I’m helping my wonderful clients through this process, I love to recommend various resources...whether it be a podcast, Instagram account, book, documentary, blog post or something else. I find that they’re just so darn helpful for many reasons - really grasping and understanding a new concept we’ve talked about (like the binge restrict cycle or HAES), seeing a wider variety of people (including various body shapes, sizes and abilities), cultivating helpful habits (like self compassion), tapping into feelings of inspiration and empowerment, facilitating the learning process, feeling seen and heard by connecting through shared experiences, and more.
So, I thought it’d be an awesome idea to collate my favourite resources into one list for you! People prefer take in information in all sorts of ways, which is why I’ve divided them into different mediums - Podcasts, Instagram Accounts, Books, and Other (including YouTube clips, docs, blog posts and other things). See what you’re drawn to / work your way through the list / save it to your favourites and refer to it whenever you need. I’m confident that you’ll find it really helpful!
