Elizabeth Patch – More to Love

Our guest today is Elizabeth Patch. She’s a teacher and an artist, and a writer, and her book, ‘More to Love’ is a real celebration of what it means to be female, especially one in maybe a larger body than is fashionable right now.

And if you’re wondering why we’d be speaking to an artist, in the series on body image what I found when I saw Elizabeth’s book was that she has a unique approach to supporting women who are struggling with all those negative feelings that we have. During our conversation we covered:

• Why we get confused about what we look like, growing up with the media we have
• How short funny cute message can be more impactful than solid science, and why that’s important for your body image evolution
• Exactly how much pressure is on our girls to be sexy, beautiful, and have the perfect look, above everything else
• Very real stories of tragic death from anorexia
• The perfect diet plan for maximum body love
• The power of a gentle reminder to shift your mood from body snarking to body loving
• How focusing on the rest of the world can help you get over feeling bloated or frumpy
• What feelings are common to almost all women, regardless of their size
• Twenty alternatives to the word ‘fat’
• When it’s okay to just ‘move on’ from diet ‘mistakes’
• What to do with the crazy contradictions in the messages we get from everywhere every day
• How to ease up on yourself by easing up on other women
• Plus, Elizabeth own body image journey from anorexia and out the otherwise, to body peace, and she shares her top revolutionary idea with you
