A good friend emailed me this talk the other day and I took the time to watch it this morning. I find Kathryn Budig so authentic and loved her feelings on this topic. Body image and a negative relationship with one's body is something I confront a lot in my work with clients with eating disorders --- but what she says on being someone who eats kale and lentils but who isn't afraid of a cookie (in my case, a hamburger or nachos!); being someone who is hydrated but isn't afraid of a glass of wine; being someone who works their body hard daily but who isn't afraid of lounging and relaxing also --- this is something that I believe and live out daily in my own life. This is where my "healthy" lies.
She talks about changing what she normally did for a photo shoot in order to look "healthy" - only eating 5 foods to prep --- I am struck that when people do that they are choosing an unhealthy lifestyle to look healthy on camera! How backwards!
But I encourage you to watch the video, it is well worth it. Find Kathryn on twitter here, and instagram here for more inspiration.
