Bad Body Image Days ...
Hi beautiful humans of AFS,
So I have a client (and many more) that have expressed having days where they just don't feel good. They looking the mirror and think "ugh, I feel so big/bloated/gross!"
We all have these days/thoughts. I want to help you all with a great way to correct the direction of our minds thoughts... Because that is just it. What we think isn't always the TRUTH. Inside, if we are aware and hear the thought -- we can create a space between ourselves and that thought. Realizing that basically our mind is tricking us and being #rude.
Become an observer of your mind. We can't believe everything we think!
Here is the exercise for you all and if you would be so brave to share below in the comments:
1) Think about the last thing you said about your body (either quietly to yourself or out loud to someone). For some of us this might actually be hard because we are used to automatically criticizing ourselves... but take a moment to slow down and become aware of what you last said to yourself.
2) How can you change that wording to something more loving?
Because you deserve to be spoken to kindly.
We would never say the negative self talk we say to ourselves to a friend or someone we really love.
3) I challenge you to write down 5 reasons you love your body... and think about how it functions versus the aesthetics. :) Again, share below if you are willing.
4) Lastly, if you have your own tips/tricks for dealing with body image share that as well.
@Bella Diaz I know you love this topic. Please chime in.
@Sawyer Forum I know you have some awesome resources regarding this topic as well :)
Sending love to you all.

Ok, I'll bite. Body image has been a big trigger for me my whole life. So much so that I don't even like the word "body." For real! In addition to hiding my body with clothing or behind others in pictures, not having any full length mirrors in the house, and only saving pictures of my head and shoulders, I hated the word too! I was embarrassed to use the word because I felt like when I said it, people were automatically looking at my body in disgust.
So, here is 5 things that I love about my BODY (I can't even tell you how hard this is!!)
I don't have any tips really (I'm interested to hear what others say,) but I try to remember that you'd never speak to another person the way you end up talking to yourself. I'm trying to remember to be kind to myself. And maybe I'll be able to use the word too someday and not cringe on the inside :)
I think this is a great topic and hope people will participate in this discussion. For me, items 1. and 2. above are not necessarily helpful to this discussion so I will skip ahead to number 3: 5 reasons I love my body.
I don't really have many tips for dealing with negative body image. I will say that I think this begins very early in life, though. I am thankful that I've never had serious body image issues or disordered eating, even though I have all of the typical personality traits for this. I have long felt that this had something to do with how i was raised, so I guess my tip is more for parents - be mindful of how you speak about yourself/your body or others' bodies in front of your children, since they listen and learn by example. Teach them to appreciate the ways their bodies function rather than how they look. They will be inundated with unrealistic body expectations from the media as they get older, teach them to resist these!
@Tricia Nault thank you for sharing your thoughts. Even seeing those words written out is a huge step. It can be powerful as we continue to reframe our thoughts around our body.
Our bodies are just our containers that hold us. You are SO much more.
I love your list of 5! Especially #4. Our bodies function 24/7 for us. The least we can do is show it more love.

@Beth Manoogian Thank you for sharing :) Did you personally still do questions 1 and 2? It is a great way to reflect and become aware.
I love that you are finding your strength! Keep focusing on what the body can DO. I absolutely love that you are also playful with cartwheels. I actually think that is a very helpful tip -- getting out of our heads and into our bodies more through fun movement like cartwheels or dancing! When we are freely moving and (most likely) smiling it's harder to pick our bodies a part.
Great insight on being extremely mindful about how we talk about our bodies around children. Teaching them about the fact that they are functioning is an absolutely miracle... our bodies are such a gift!

@Eileen McNally I'm really glad you started this discussion. There are some really awesome tips in your post. I appreciate you tagging me in it, but if I am being 100% completely honest, this is actually an area of coaching where I feel a lot less comfortable. I feel very confident and comfortable with the technical aspects of nutrition, exercise, and the psychological elements of behavior change. This one however has always been a bit tougher for me (why that is is likely a juicy one that has to do with gender norms, vulnerability etc.).
That said, I do have some resources I think could be helpful both for those who struggle and those who coach those who do:
Podcast:
Blogs:
Book:
That said, here are some specific strategies I think can be very helpful here:
1) Social media purge. Any time you some across anything on your social feed that triggers feelings of comparison, shame, etc. Remove it!
2) Combat negative self-talk (you mention this above)
3) Affirmations (you mention this above as well).
I think @Corinne Albrecht would also have a lot to contribute to this discussion.
Thanks for starting this very important dialogue.. looking forward to keeping an eye on this one =).

I was "chubby" as a kid til around 7th grade, so I always have felt like I am combatting my body's natural tendency to be "chubby." Feeling "in shape" or "skinny" has NEVER been something I really felt, even at my lowest weight and when I was running half-marathons.
The past year though I have slowly become more kind to my body image, greatly due to AFS. I don't workout anymore because I am desperate to become skinny like I used to. I am not 100% there though mentally in being okay with who I am.
Tips - 100% agree with taking instagram and facebook off your phone if you struggle with comparison. I still go on my computer occasionally, however I was wasting so much time during random pauses in my day and it didn't do anything to benefit me. I will unlock my restriction of it on safari if I really want to post a picture, but truly, I find that I really don't miss it!
I also find that the more I work out, the better I think I look, even if it really isn't true. And, making deliberate choices, like NCNC, makes me feel better about my body too because I just feel like I am taking better care of myself.
Lastly, clothes REALLY ARE important to body image. Listen, sometimes I look at pictures of models wearing an outfit online when I am a shopping and notice even THEY don't look good in a particular cut/style that is presented for their "perfect" body. CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET of things you don't feel good in. Donate them or hold a little free clothes swap with your friends. Most likely your friends and you might have things that look better on each other! If you are unsure of how to dress to make you feel more confident, ask a friend who you think can be kind and honest to help you!
Thanks @Eileen McNally for posting!
@Heidi Morris Thank you for sharing :) SO true about clothes! That's a great tip. Get rid of what doesn't make you feel AMAZING. Sometimes clothes are just made differently too... it's not us, it's the clothes! Especially if we have had the same wardrobe for a while, it's bound to start to fit differently.

@Eileen McNally great topic to post on here. One thing I'll chime in with (since no other guys have at this point) is that men struggle with this too, it's just less "socially acceptable" for us to talk about I think. As a number of AFS employees know, I was overweight my entire childhood into high school. Like most overweight kids I was picked on quite a bit for my weight growing up; high school was, indeed, a very socially uncomfortable place for me to be. It definitely resulted in some significant body image scars going into adult life. These are still things I struggle with regularly (sometimes daily). I don't think I'm alone as man struggling with these things, whether you were picked on for being "skinny" or picked on for being fat, that still leaves scars and those scars manifest themselves in a number of way in adulthood. This is an area I've done a lot of personal exploration on, but also an area I've done some research into the scientific evidence on body image. One thing I can say this that it seems like each person's strategy is high unique and individualized, but it seems to come down to one fundamental construct: acceptance. Acceptance of one's self as worthy and great just the way they are. This doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for improvement in all areas of our life (and keep trying to get better), b/c I think we should. But I think is critically important to start with a base of acceptance, realizing we are "whole" and "enough" just as we are, and we're just trying to better something that is already great. But that's not all acceptance means in my mind (or the mind of a number of researchers).
Saying that, I want to take the concept of acceptance a step further and bring in some contemporary psychology to this discussion. When I say acceptance, this certainly means of one's own worth, but it also means acceptance that negative thoughts (and emotions) will come up. That's the nature of the human mind. On an evolutionary level our brain tend to think more negative (as a way to avoid danger), a very deep and primitive structure in our brain called our amygdala does this and it can literally hijack our brain with it's actions if we're not careful.
The amygdala and it's actions are a very innate biological mechanism (deeply ingrained within our subconscious) because of that it's very unlikely the human brain will stop seeing things in a negative light (I've read some research that suggests that over 60-65% of our daily thoughts have negative basis to them). That's a staggering number, isn't it? With that said, and in keeping this this notion of acceptance, I'd like to introduce the concept of cognitive defusion (I've linked an article below).
I think this article presents a very pragmatic view of dealing with negative thoughts and emotions. The basic premise is this, negative thoughts and emotions are going to occur, that's not your choice or mine, that's the choice of our biology. You can't control the thought or the emotion, but you can control what you do with it, how you focus on it, and how you react to it. You can do this if you can create "space" between the thought (or emotion) and the reaction to that thought (or the emotion). If you get good at doing this the thought or emotion will just fade into the background and not affect you and your life as much.
Indeed, we are not our thoughts, we are not our emotions. We know we're not because we can observe our thoughts and emotions (and if we were them, we couldn't observe them, talk about them, label them and so on). Because of that we can actually live very healthy and happy lives even in the presence of these negative thoughts and emotions, if we apply the right strategy. I think cognitive defusion is a great strategy. Check out the article below, and if you do read it, let me know what you think.
Two last things I'll add. First is that by accepting your thoughts and emotions that doesn't mean you agree with their content. You're not accepting the content of the thought or emotion, you're just more allowing it be (so "allow" might be a better word). If you get good at defusing (and not reacting) eventually the thoughts/emotions fade so much into the background that you don't even notice them. It's the same reason why I can sit in my office and type this post right now while loud music is playing and weight are crashing down outside of my office. It's not that those things aren't loud, it's just that I've worked in this environment so long I've defused from the sounds so much so that I don't even hear them. It's the same thing with defusing from negative thoughts/emotions, they might be there, but you'll never notice them if you get good at practicing defusion.
The last thought I have is about the practice of this skill. Like any skill this takes time to master. It's not something that happens right away. The mastering of this skill is based on neuroplastiticity (which basically means our brains can rewire themselves over time). This process of rewiring takes persistence, time, and effort. Most of all it takes not giving up when you don't see results right way. Indeed, my first week in a gym I could barely concentrate, now I do almost any task regardless of the "noise" around me. You can have the power to do the same thing with the thoughts and emotions in your mind if you get good at cognitive defusion. I wish you all the best on your journey to tune down those negative thoughts you have in your head. The good news is you're not alone. The better news is neuroscience is on the side of you not having to listen to them if you put in the work.

Thanks for the tag, @Sawyer Paull-Baird ! @Eileen McNally , these tips are really insightful and such a great guide for learning how to be nice to ourselves. It is so much healthier for our mindset to really sit down with that negative self-talk, find where it's coming from, and adjust that impulse to be mean to ourselves by being "overly" nice to ourselves (which is to say, for every negative thing, finding 3+ reasons to be nice!)
I've struggled with body image and eating disorders before, and one of the best things I've ever done is thought about my younger self, particularly the me in 5th grade. I had to buy size medium pants in 5th grade for the first time, which is my earliest recalled memory of feeling bad about my body. Nevermind that I was growing, beginning puberty, etc. I think about how upset she was, and how I wish I could comfort her, and I imagine the things I'd say to her. It breaks my heart that little-me thought a natural part of growing up and aging signaled something "wrong" with her. This is very similar to the process you described, Eileen, but I sometimes find it hard to be nice to the me-right-now unless I think of the me-back-then first. The fact that her body was growing and going through changes is exactly what happens to me now! If my pants don't fit anymore, it's because parts of me grew. And that's okay, because parts of her were growing too :) Sometimes my shirts are too big, and that's because parts of me got smaller. Parts of her got smaller too :) I pretend she's listening to me always, and very quickly I change my attitude.
In the end, I've tried to accept that my body goes through change after change, adapting to the environments I introduce it to, and as long as I'm doing my best to take care of it, there's no need to be concerned with what it looks like. I used to be terrified of buying bigger clothing until I realized that bigger clothing made me look better because it actually fit me right and made me feel good! So I don't really pay attention to sizes anymore--if it looks good on me, it's in my closet! I don't own a scale because numbers have never helped me in anything (including math #englishmajor) and like you suggested, Sawyer, I keep my social media pruned with positivity. I follow people who feel good about themselves, which includes every body type out there.
Also, I saw a really interesting post about the way women's bodies adapt to our anatomy. We have reproductive organs! Our bodies might look fuller in the stomach area, because there's actual additional organs in there! I can't speak to the actual science of this, but hey, it made me feel better 😊
@Mike Stack Wow really well said! The concept of defusion is new to me, but I think I have been practicing without even knowing it. We are talking a lot about it in the yoga workshops I've been attending. I read the article you linked.
Couple points that stood out to me:
"Remember that progress does not depend on thoughts changing. Instead, our aim in defusion work is to adjust the way someone relates to troublesome thoughts, so that they do not need to change their thoughts for progress to occur."
" The thoughts we label as “descriptions” point to direct, physical experience, such as, “That table is made of wood.” “Evaluations” are any other way we can talk about an experience that is not purely descriptive, such as, “That table is beautiful.” But it is not always easy to determine if a thought is an evaluation or description. Some thoughts are both."
So I'd say most of our thoughts (especially about ourselves) are evaluations ... and so we ought to challenge them and redirect them in an accepting/self compassionate way.
@Corinne Albrecht Yes! Love that you linked this with your inner child. That resonates with me too. Who are some of the people you follow for positivity?

@Eileen McNally, I value that you made reflection the first component of the exercise because I respond well to introspection.
@Sawyer Paull-Baird, what can we do as a FitFam to aide in you feeling more comfortable coaching this topic? Are you able to identify the component(s) that cause you uncomfortability?
@Mike Stack - this is my favorite forum contribution of yours thus far, and I hope that many members/visitors read as well as review the link you provided.
In answer to E. McNally's exercise:
5 Positive Physical Statements:
I like my hair, my skin tone, my smile, the strength in my legs and my calves when in heels.
Tips:
I'm in agreement with what's already been recommended; observance of thoughts, knowing cognitively - we are not our thoughts <3 <--that's 100% true because if were our thoughts, I wouldn't be alive today.
If anything else to add, I'd just say that it's a gift to have our physicality and to keep that in remembrance.
@Eileen McNally my question 1 answer was actually a positive thought so there was no need for question 2. And thus why they weren’t relevant to this discussion!
One other thing I will add is that although this is a gym forum and many of us found AFS with a desire to lose weight, there is another side of this spectrum, too. I see people all the time who desperately want to gain weight and can’t, whose friends make comments to them like “I wish I was as skinny as you” without realizing that person just wants to be able to eat normally and gain weight and feel healthy.
Hey @Angela Johnson . I suppose my main discomfort comes from feeling like I either cannot relate, or will be perceived as not being able to relate (in actuality it's probably a combination of both). Thus I tell myself I shouldn't contribute, or that it would be insulting to those who really struggle with this if I, as someone who doesn't (at least to any significant degree), and a male (who many perceive cannot relate to this), were to try to provide advice/feedback.
I realize this is only minimally rational, but that's the emotion nonetheless.
Agent of Change / Fitness Innovation & Education Coordinator
Ah, and that's totally understandable @Sawyer Paull-Baird. Thank you for sharing the emotions you feel and I'm glad that you felt okay to do so in this forum. I appreciate your insight always.
First of all, you all have added so much light to my Sunday by reading through these! This is an extremely sensitive, vulnerable, and challenging topic to cover, but I am so glad you brought it up @Eileen McNally <3
I have SO much to share on this topic because as many of you know, this is my PASSION. I work with truly resilient individuals who struggle every day with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body dissatisfaction in my other job. We as a society have soooo much work to still do here because we have been consumed by diet culture and this idea that we are simply not enough. Like @Mike Stack mentioned, one of the hardest but most important steps is acceptance. This is accepting the person we are in the body that we have today. In this moment. Exactly as it is. This is NOT to say that you should not be striving to become a better person, because I think this is what we all should aim for, but it is understanding that this point we in our journey is VITAL and IMPORTANT.
I believe that we should not aim for 100% self love, every day, but self acceptance and respect.
What Eileen shared on re-framing our thoughts is SO wonderful and something I try to do daily. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with my clients to help them understand that just because they THINK something does not make it TRUE. Prime example is when a kid asks to sleep in his parent's bed because he thinks a monster is under his bed. If the parent lets him come in, then they are reinforcing that, yes, this is a scary situation, so come with us. Instead, they could reinforce the idea that there is nothing to fear and help the child to work through this idea/ fear thus helping to build the child's resilience. What we think is not always our reality- especially when it involves negative comments about our body.
5 things I love about myself today:
Something to share with you all. I invite you all the take the Body Kindness Manifesto with me! This is from Rebecca Stritchfield's book, Body Kindness. Read it now, write it in your journal, keep it with you <3

@Eileen McNally I love this topic and feel so grateful that you're walking hand-in-hand with vulnerability by posting it for all of us to read, digest, and feel. ❤️ . Everyone has shared some amazing, honest thoughts.
The last thing I said to myself about my body? Honest to goodness truth...
A friend just stopped over at my house to pick something up. We were chatting, and during the conversation I told her, "I don't give a F*#@ what anyone thinks about my body". And I meant it. It's not always easy, but that mentality is most definitely (at least in my opinion) worth the practice. And it's most definitely a practice as I have weighed less than I do now in the past and thought horrible, damaging things about my body and my worth.
I don't think there's a one-stop-shop answer to positive body image and how to love your body more times than not. I think, like anything, it's practice, patience, acceptance... and more practice. I like how @Heidi Morris mentioned social media taking over our time/energy/perspective. One thing I've done this year is begin to clean up my social media feed. Instagram (and FB) can be a tricky place, but I have made the conscious decision/effort to unfollow accounts that don't align with my heart and mind's work. I've added accounts that do. It's all a work in progress. I probably sound like a broken record when saying this, but I know for a fact the people I am surrounded with at AFS (trainers and clients) have positively impacted the way I see myself and my worth as well. We can't avoid it entirely. It's a big world. But surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals is powerful. I know it has definitely fueled me this year.
To wrap up...
5 things I love about my body
1) It gives good hugs
2) It's strong AF
3) It allows me to workout and move in ways I love
4) It supports me when I'm sad AND when I am laughing uncontrollably
5) It holds my big heart
@Heather Quinlan You give GREAT hugs!! and the fact that it holds your big heart - could not agree more. *happy tears*
Keep CLEARING your feed & filling it up will all the good accounts. That also goes for people in our life too (yeah I said it lol)

Really good point @Mike Stack. I've actually had conversations with other clients about "the other end of the spectrum". That is, at least for both sexes, being too skinny or thin. Growing up I've always felt that I had to display a certain masculinity among my fellow classmates and friends. I can't really place why, but i never wanted to feel or look like the skinny frail kid. Maybe I always associated it with being weak or inferior and I had to make sure I didn't look that part.
@Heather Quinlan . You inspire me. Now I need one of your wonderful hugs.
I love this topic. I've spent the last 25 years trying to please everyone but myself. I honestly believed that if I were "thin" people would like me more and I would be more fun (As if). It didn't matter how thin I was, it was never good enough. I wasn't good enough. I trained and trained- but not for me. I didn't love my body no matter how many times I was told I looked great. I was hyper-critical about size and appearance. Consumed with looking great in a bikini.
Acceptance is so hard. We accept other people's shortcomings and failures, yet we never accept our own. We don't allow ourselves to fully feel and understand that we are telling ourselves a story that doesn't exist (the negativity and the expectations). It's hard to see past that the outside does not equal the inside. Baby steps.
The last thing I said about my body was it's too big and I don't like it. I stood in front of a mirror in a dress that was too tight. I don't even know why I said that. Some days I feel totally secure in my appearance, other days, I want to hide in a closet and eat oreos. I need to remember that we've been given this amazing gift and while we should handle with care at times, we should also celebrate and love ourselves.
Five things I love about my body
I just need to remember to practice more kindness with myself. Since I've been at AFS, my attitude has changed and my why has changed. I might never have my six-pack abs again, but that's not a priority for me anymore.
@Eileen McNally honestly most of the people I follow for body positivity are my own friends! It's so wonderful to have a group of women close to me celebrating themselves in all the versions of their bodies :)
I do find the account i_weigh on instagram to be the best non-friend bodyposi account I follow, though! It was started by Jameela Jamil, one of my favorite outspoken activists on this topic, and basically celebrates what we weigh; not in numbers, but in personalities, achievements, passions, etc. I like thinking about my weight as being what I bring to the world, and not the number on the scale :)
Hey AFS Family!! Hoping it's not too late to chime in on this one. I promised @Eileen McNally I would and after reading all the other comments, I felt compelled to share my thoughts and answers with fellow fitness family that can relate.
1. The last thing i said about my body was "Gross!" I caught a glimpse of my tummy in the mirror and my initial reaction was "Gross!" I will be the first to admit that I do not tolerate my friends or family putting themselves down or saying negative things, but yet I was very quick to blurt out "Gross" to myself. I am working on this, though.
2. I better reaction to seeing my body would be "Remarkable" because it is strong, healthy, and unique - no other person has this body and that makes it rare and special!
3. Five things I love about my body: 1 - neck, collarbone and shoulder area. They create a feminine silhouette that make me feel attractive. 2 - strength, stability and balance. These allow me to withstand puppy hugs from my Great Dane and the ability to play with him and keep up with his 120 pound clumsy ways! 3 - flexibility. As I get older, maintaining flexible joints is important to me and I try to incorporate stretching and yoga into my fitness routines to maintain my flexibility. 4 - overall hourglass shape. At times I wish I could Photoshop my own body and change the portions and ratios of my curves, but overall, I like the balance and symmetry my body has. 5 - my heart. It is strong and healthy and allows me do all the fitness classes I enjoy doing!
4. Tips & tricks for overcoming bad body image days...I remind myself that those negative thoughts that creep into my head are only temporary. They came in and they will leave. And once they are gone, I try to reflect on all I'm grateful for. Remembering all the blessings in my life makes my heart smile and puts me in a better mood. When I'm in a better mood, I'm kinder to myself and less negative towards myself. The good mood and positive outlook give me a little boost. And THOSE feelings feel WAY better than those negative ones that passed through my head.
@Lauren Wentzel thank you for sharing. It's time to start quieting the inner critic with better reactions so it shows up less and less. I LOVE your list especially numbers 2 and 5. SO good :)
What a good point about how you notice you are kinder to yourself when you are in a good mood. So, what is it that you need in order to stay the course? In order to ensure you do what is best for you so you feel positive?

Hello All,
What a great topic for discussion! I know many people of all shapes and sizes (including yours truly) they all seem to have one thing in common. They aren’t happy with something about their bodies. I do think it has a lot to do with the beauty industry. Which makes women and men feel shame which creates beliefs that lead us to define ourselves as being “not good enough”.
1) The last thing I said about my body was...Yuck! I was in FS class and looked down at my stomach as I was doing a wall squat. That was all it took to feel Yuck!
2) A better thing I could say about my body is...It’s capable of change, and with time and effort it will get healthier.
3) 5 reasons I love my body... 1.) It birthed two beautiful daughters. 2.) It has helped me help others in need. 3.) It allows me to get from point A to point B. 4.) It has soft skin. 5.) It has aged pretty well as far as wrinkles on my face go.
4) My tips/tricks are...to reflect on all of the blessings in my life. Try not to compare myself to others, and try not to get discouraged if changes aren’t happening as quickly as I would like for them to.
My beautiful daughters ❤️
Thanks for everyone for contributing to what is a very personal topic for many of us. As I said above, I know it is for me for sure. We all have this image of what "society" tells us is healthy or what we should look like. That image is clearly driven by trying to sell a product, service, type of clothing or whatever the marketers are trying to pedal in that particular advertisement.
One that I can that is very cool about the AFS community is how opened we are to sharing these things with each other. It's very special and I thank everyone so much for contributing. #fitfam #morethanfitness
