Episode 2866: Nia Shanks challenges the relentless pursuit of fat loss, exposing its damaging effects on body image, self-worth, and overall well-being. Instead of obsessing over shedding pounds, she encourages shifting focus to strength, confidence, and feeling good in your own skin. By rejecting diet culture and the punishment mindset, you can build a healthier relationship with food, exercise, and yourself. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://niashanks.com/screw-fat-loss/ Quotes to ponder: "Slimming down your waistline doesn’t have to be the dominant thought prodding your return to the gym each week." "You could choose to move your body and eat well because, oh, I don’t know, you’d like to feel good about yourself instead of hating your body and relentlessly berating yourself." "Obsessing over fat loss for an extended time is brutally effective for one thing, making you chronically dissatisfied with your body." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
