Motivated With Meg

s2e6 I Used to Work Out Because I Hated My Body | Motivated with Meg Podcast

“You can want change. You can train and grow. But you don’t need to mentally bully yourself the entire way there.”
 
Have you ever caught yourself comparing your body to someone else’s—at the gym, on Instagram, or even from memories and pictures?
It’s hard to enjoy movement when it’s rooted in shame. In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the connection between body image and joyful movement—because let’s be real, when we hate our bodies, it’s a lot harder to move them with love.
This is your reminder that you don’t have to look like anyone else to be successful in life. 🙂
Topics Covered
How negative body image makes joyful movement harder
The difference between healthy inspiration and toxic comparison
How diet culture and social media distort body perception
My personal story about working out from a place of body shame
Learning to spot when comparison leads to self-bullying
Why you don’t need to change your body to be worthy of love
A 3-part weekly experiment to help improve your body image and reclaim movement joy
