#136: Coping with Photos That Trigger Body Shame & Comparison

Oct 7

In this bonus episode of the Full Plate Podcast, we dive into why seeing photos of ourselves—especially in group settings—can trigger feelings of body shame and comparison.

This is in response to a listener question, specifically about hating a photo and feeling pulled to diet again. This is a free preview of a paywalled episode. To hear the FULL episode, join Patreon here.

We explore the influence of social comparison theory and how diet culture conditions us to view our bodies through a critical lens. Learn how to cope with the emotional impact of triggering photos, unravel the habit of comparing yourself to others, and embrace self-compassion as you navigate body image in a world filled with photos. Tune in for practical tips and thoughtful insights on how to reclaim your body from the grip of comparison.
