Body checking and comparison is super common for chronic dieters. How does our inner mean girl reinforce diet culture's rules?? The beauty industry, the diet industry, and the fitness industry ALL conspire to keep us stuck in our own heads, constantly comparing ourselves to others. We can talk back to our inner mean girl and build up our inner girl power so she can fight back! Come up with some body neutral responses to respond to the negative voices that give you unhelpful commentary about your body. Your practice will make progress!!
