0:00.0	Why does having a positive body image feel so elusive? Why can you know a lot about building a healthy body image and yet it can still feel so far-fetched?
0:10.0	I think that the answer lies in kind of the complexity that is body image and the multi-dimensional nature of building body confidence, which we're going to get into today.
0:20.5	We're also going to have a little
0:21.3	chat around the difference between dieting and diet culture and why I will no longer be referencing
0:27.5	the very often quoted 95% of diets fail statistic. And if time allows, I'm going to unpack the
0:34.8	question is pursuing a fat loss goal right for me right now.
0:43.4	Welcome to the Dear Body podcast. I'm your host, Jesse Jean, and this show is dedicated to
0:49.2	goal-driven women and mothers who want to feel in flow and in momentum in their life instead of perpetually

1:38.6	body confidence. And my goal was to help provide insight to a couple of questions.
1:45.1	The first question is, how do I pursue reclaiming a healthy relationship with fitness?
1:50.5	And then the other question was, how do I pursue intentional fat loss without backsliding into diet culture?
1:58.6	And my goal was to not only provide insight around those questions,
2:02.2	but also to help my clients understand their why and what their true motivation might be
2:08.2	behind some of the choices they want to make. It was a pretty dense workshop. I worked really
2:12.3	hard to make it as comprehensive as I could. And when I was building it out, I started to think
2:17.2	that maybe some of you
