Grieving the Promises of Diet Culture in Recovery (Re-broadcast)

There is a reason that the diet industry amasses billions of dollars every year. It tells us that if we pursue thinness or wellness with enough drive and dedication that things will be easier, better, and brighter. It promises that if we achieve the ideal body, than other challenges won’t be as hard.  It makes sense to align with a set of rules that are black and white and offer certainty: thinner is better, less is best, and rest is for the weak. Navigating these messages gets even more complicated in recovery when we encourage living in nuanced shades of grey.

This webinar will discuss the difficulties associated with divorcing yourself from diet culture in a society that remains firmly entrenched in its grasp. It will offer strategies to step away from anti-fat bias, and to engage with a more forgiving and compassionate view of wellness. Additionally, the presentation will provide resources to weave this alternative mindset into your daily life as you continue to pursue eating disorder recovery.
