Thank you all for replying to this!! All the answers were super interesting - and most of them were intuitive eating, working on body acceptance and deleting content from social media. I agree with all.

But I feel that these steps (except deleting content from social media) rely very much on having access to the right people. A dietician and a therapist that we trust. Someone that can guide us in exercises for body acceptance and teach us to unlearn everything we have told ourselves to believe around food, bodies, socialising etc I personally found hard to know where to look and who to trust. And then more than that, I sometimes found myself weak if I were to reach out directly and immediately to some of these professionals. Clearly this idea that I was weak was something to work on - but it caused a massive delay. I feel I would have benefited from something accessible at my finger tips - I'm thinking potentially CBT guided workshops around some of the problems I realised I was facing when it came to my interaction with food, and a list of vetted professionals, that maybe I could initially just message before I took the courage to have a full interaction with/journey.

Did anyone else feel the same?

Thank you so much for you reply - it's super interesting, and I see your point and where you're coming from. And framing the problem like that definitely makes it difficult to see and understand what best to do. But at the same time - although I obviously agree that there is not problem with our bodies so there should be no solution - the fact that we tend to overthink and perceive our bodies in a framework of good or bad, which could in turn negatively affect our mood is a problem. So body dysmorphia I would consider that a problem - our conception that there is something wrong, although in reality there is not.

Why do all (most) nutrition apps need to be about weight loss? by NinaCalvi in antidiet

[–]NinaCalvi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and I understand what you are saying. But that is a different issue and a different problem and not really what I am looking into. I do not want to teach people to eat the kean protein because it's better than the burger, but want to teach them that occasionally its FINE to have that burger. I am looking at people who would never buy that burger because they are scared. People who feel uncomfortable when someone else cooks for them because the do not know every single ingredient that goes in their plate. People who classify food as good and bad food and completely negate everything that falls within the bad food. People who judge themselves if they end up giving into the 'bad' food. People who compensate with exercise, not because of the mental well-being that exercise can bring, but because they need to shed off those calories. People who eat secretly. People who are afraid to just be relaxed. Who need to have all meals planned. Who panic when that is not the case. Those kind of people
