Turning the Big 4-0 and more! Talking about my health goals and teaching my daughters positive body image - a podcast by Stacy Mitchell, RDN, LD, CPT

Hey friends, welcome to a bonus episode. I wanted to hide the fact that I am turning 40 today. Ugh, it is like the icing for a crappy year. And maybe I shouldn’t be all down in the dumps but there is something about turning this age for me. It sounds old, and yet I still feel like I am 25 . . .

I have some ah-ha moments I want to share. 

Looking back 10 years ago, I'm not 100% sure but guessing, that when I turned 30 my health goals were something like lose those last 10 pounds from baby #2 or obtaining a number on the scale before I had babies. The number on the scale equaled my worth which is really sad to say but I think it is a common goal for many woman no matter how old you are.

I also talk about a little discussion I had with my daughter as my teenager calls me out and says, "Mom you are always telling us to say positive things about our bodies, why don’t you say it too?"

Whoa! And what do I say about myself when I may not always feel super positive? How do we teach our young girls positive body image.  This is a tough one.

Body positivity or body self love is not just a switch you can turn on or just make a pretty post that says “love your body” this concept is way more involved for it to even be one sentence.

So, I would love for you to celebrate with me and join me on this episode. <3
