It’s movie time (again!). In this week’s Eating Coach podcast I use a film to look at how comparing ourselves to others can worsen not only our body image but binge eating.
Shownotes
*Quote of The Week*
…is from Anais Nin:
“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Main section: It’s Kind of a Funny Story
In this episode, discover:
*How to swap upward comparison (“I am less fortunate than person X”) for downward comparison (“I have so much more than person Y”)
*How specifically to use downward comparison to deal with eating and body image issues
*How airbrushed perfectionism is a corrupting force
*The hidden benefit of the comparison trap that will allow you to escape it if you are crafty enough!
*How the idea of a continuum is far more helpful than the fixed position necessary to get yourself in the comparison trap
