[00:01:23] Corinne Foxx: it's bizarre.
It's crazy. But lucky let's go over. Uh, what are we drinking? This upbeat.
[00:01:30] Natalie McMillan: Okay. So we are drinking the Josh sellers, seven Yon belong, and this is a. Ooh. And it's a twist up. I feel

[00:01:48] Natalie McMillan: oh, that was real ASM Ari.

[00:01:53] Corinne Foxx: Oh, I'm going to hold it in. You guys be, know what I want to
[00:01:56] Natalie McMillan: say? I know. I know what you want to say. Interesting.
[00:02:00] Corinne Foxx: You know what, Natalie, we know it's interesting. I got to get into it. Oh, wait, let me grab my phone.
[00:02:06] Natalie McMillan: Okay. Oh yeah. Okay. So last night she texted me and she was like, oh no, she Snapchatted me.
And she was like, I have to tell you what happened to me during dinner. And I have a picture of,
[00:02:17] Corinne Foxx: okay. Something happened last night where I got to the point where I. When am I going to grow up? Right. Grow up
[00:02:24] Natalie McMillan: Kerryn, but not in like a grow up more than like an actually age. I
[00:02:30] Corinne Foxx: usually like, when am I gonna get older and be an adult?
Because so last night I'm making dinner. I'm making pasta. And you have to boil water to make it's very basic. You do. My 13 year old sister can do this. So I'm boiling water and I have to like move the pot for some reason. And it splashes out of the pot in hits my leg. And this is a pretty big, this is like a shampoo level splash and it's boiling hot water and I'm wearing leggings.
So I'm thinking, okay, the lendings are going to melt into my skin. So I pull them down to my knee.
[00:03:07] Natalie McMillan: Oh, I wish this was on a camera. It is on a camera. And so I
[00:03:12] Corinne Foxx: pulled my leggings under my knee and I, and I grabbed like a washcloth and I like putting cold water on my thigh, on my upper thigh because it's burned, burnt.
It's burnt.
[00:03:21] Natalie McMillan: And
[00:03:21] Corinne Foxx: then, um, while I'm doing that, I'm also still cooking the pasta and then I'm also calling my mom on speed
[00:03:28] Natalie McMillan: dial. Like, do I have to go. But all. So I'm calling her and calling her and calling her. And I'm waddling around with my, your leggings are still around your ankles. Yeah. I don't know Natalie.
And so I'm waddling around. I'm calling my mom. I have like a cold
[00:03:44] Corinne Foxx: compress on and I'm cooking pasta and I just stopped and I bursted out laughing. I said, what's going on? We're at a low point. And I'm like, first of all, why is my
[00:03:53] Natalie McMillan: mom not answering second of all? What always answers? And also I'm like, what am I going to just be an adult?
[00:03:59] Corinne Foxx: And I can get splashed by hot water and be like, I can come. Handle this, I was a mess and then I walked, I wattled around
[00:04:07] Natalie McMillan: with my, why didn't you? My thing is okay. I like the burning yourself, like, okay. Okay. It's the waddling around for me? Like you could, you can use your feet to like take them off. You don't even have to bend down.
No, I chose to waddle around my house and
[00:04:24] Corinne Foxx: then I'm also waddling. And then I laid down on my couch and I lift my legs up to elevate it from the
[00:04:31] Natalie McMillan: burns are not still on there still.
[00:04:34] Corinne Foxx: I know when I checked in and I was like, what am I doing? I thought, what? I'm a baby adult. I'm unable to care for
[00:04:43] Natalie McMillan: myself. You know what, at this point, I think, I think, cause when you told me last night that something had happened, I was like, Is this forever though?
Like do even the adult adults think I'm not, I'm not, I'm still a baby adult. Like when did it happen?
[00:04:59] Corinne Foxx: Like if my mom were to. Spill boiling hot water on herself. She wouldn't waddle around her house for a half hour with her pants around her ankle. True. True. You know, but
[00:05:11] Natalie McMillan: when did that turn off? I don't think I would do that.
I
[00:05:15] Corinne Foxx: know I was like, grin, what are we doing? What are
[00:05:17] Natalie McMillan: we, what are we doing? We just needed a little drama in your life. It was so
[00:05:21] Corinne Foxx: ridiculous. And I really. I might have to go to urgent care because it's started blistering.
[00:05:26] Natalie McMillan: Oh, I'm like, oh, I brought you burn green. I T I have this like burn green. It's like fringe and it's all fancy or whatever, but it is in my bag.
So you can take it home.
[00:05:34] Corinne Foxx: I just, I realized I embarrassed myself in front of myself, out of yourself. And that was really a first
[00:05:41] Natalie McMillan: for me. Yeah. Whenever I embarrass myself in front of myself is when I laugh. The,
[00:05:45] Corinne Foxx: I was laughing. I, I cry laughing at me. Oh, I was crying, laughing, and I was just like, I'm embarrassed to be me right now.
Nobody's seeing this, but myself and I'm embarrassed.
[00:05:56] Natalie McMillan: Archie's just like, Hmm. When interest, nurse's an interesting choice that she's made anyways. If you
[00:06:02] Corinne Foxx: guys also feel like a baby adult, please let me know because I'm out here loss. We're all baby. Okay. So let's get into today's episode, which is how to protect your body image during the summer.
And why we're talking about it because it's a tough
[00:06:17] Natalie McMillan: well, so with summer here, there's this pressure to be. Some are ready. Quote unquote, it's like blasted all over everything. It's not magazines commercials, Instagram ads. And then everybody gets into that dreaded comparison spiral that we've all been in at one point or another.
But like we said, at the top summer should be a time for fun. This should be a Fabby time, but if we're preoccupied with poor body image, having fun can. Tough. So we wanted to dive into it and share some tangible ways that we can all have a better body image this
[00:06:49] Corinne Foxx: summer. You, and I'm also thinking when you were just saying like summer body.
I would like to reclaim the term hot girl summer. Yes. Because I don't think Meg men at this way, but I do think it can be taken this way that it means to be like your most fit version of herself. And I'm like, you're hot because you exist. Exactly. You're hot because your existence, it's not because of what you look like.
So.
[00:07:10] Natalie McMillan: It's a mindset. It's a mindset. And I think that is mags intent, tangible.
[00:07:13] Corinne Foxx: I do think, but I just don't want it to be misinterpreted and I plan to speak
[00:07:17] Natalie McMillan: on her behalf. Yes. Yeah. I think that you'd appreciate it actually.
[00:07:21] Corinne Foxx: So before we get into the episode, I do want to give a trigger warning because we are going to be talking about body image, you know, distorted body image.
I know it's a sensitive topic for women, even for men. And so if it makes you feel uncomfy to talk about this stuff, you can listen to another episode or you can skip to the island and
[00:07:40] Natalie McMillan: live here, whatever the chaos is going to be
[00:07:42] Corinne Foxx: for guests, the same words. So we just want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable listening to this episode, but let's get into it, Natalie.
So what. His body image in case people don't know what it
[00:07:54] Natalie McMillan: is. Yeah. So body image is the perception that a person has of their physical self, but more importantly, the thoughts and feelings, the person experiences as a result of that perception. It's important to understand that these feelings can be positive, negative, or a combination of both and are influenced by individual and environmental factors.
Psychological in nature, perceived body image is not based on. But influenced by self-esteem imagination, emotions and physical sensations of, and about our bodies. I thought this was super interesting. So 17 magazine, it was first published in 1944. And at that time, the average model was about five foot seven and 130 pounds today.
Exactly
[00:08:40] Corinne Foxx: what I weigh. And
[00:08:43] Natalie McMillan: look, that's my height. So imagine Kerryn, and then imagine today's model is roughly five foot 10, which is much taller than the average American woman. And her average weight is 115 pounds, which gives her a BMI lower than that. Of many women in impoverished developing country.
Yeah,
[00:09:02] Corinne Foxx: that's crazy.
[00:09:03] Natalie McMillan: Crazy. Crazy. We need Kerryn on this stuff because.
[00:09:07] Corinne Foxx: You know, it was my, like, you know, it was every girl's dream. Like when you were little, like, I just wanna be on the cover
[00:09:12] Natalie McMillan: of 17. Oh my God. I wanted to
[00:09:15] Corinne Foxx: cover of 17 magazine. Like the 17 magazine exists. It does, it does still exist. But then I moved.
I remember when I switched from 17 to Cosmo.
[00:09:25] Natalie McMillan: Oh, yeah. Freshman year of high school. I was like, whoa, they had really in there anyway. I know. Okay. So current studies indicate that only one in five women are satisfied with their body and that 47% of fifth to 12th grade girls reported wanting to lose weight after looking through magazines.
Oh, that makes me
[00:09:46] Corinne Foxx: so
[00:09:47] Natalie McMillan: sad. I know that literally breaks my heart. Just, we got to get away from this
[00:09:52] Corinne Foxx: stuff. Exactly. It's so according to the national eating disorders, collaboration, there are four aspects to body image. So the first one is perceptual, which is the way that you see yourself. The second is effective.
So it's the way you feel about the way you look. The third is cognitive. So that's the thoughts and beliefs you feel about your body. And the fourth is behavioral, which is the things you do in relation to the way you love. Okay. So there's like, you know, there's the way you see yourself and there's the way that you feel about it.
And then it's like, what do you think about it? And then what do you do about it? Yes, exactly. Okay. That makes a lot of sense, but there's also seven other factors that influence your body image right now. Um, yeah,
[00:10:37] Natalie McMillan: so there's an English based site. It's a lot like, um, psychology today, like that we have here in the states English, you mean?
I mean, British, I mean, uh, British for Ash. Yes. Um, so it's called counseling directory.org. So they say there are seven factors that influence each individual's body. So the first one is the culture. So in Western culture, there is a definite preference towards being thin. This preference became particularly amplified in the 1960s with models, such as Twiggy being widely celebrated.
And then the trend accelerated through the 1980s with women's magazines, the promotion of diets and the increased focused on body shape and manipulating it. It could be argued that it reached its peak. Pre-social media in the nineties with the rise of the quote unquote heroin chic models like Kate Moss, for example.
And then since the two thousands with many more TV channels, the advent of social media and access to just daily bombardment of manipulated images has taken over to such a degree that you can be overwhelmed. Literally 24 7 like constant. The second thing is self-esteem so healthy. Self-esteem helps to drown out the poor body image messaging as worth is rooted in.
Rather than chasing external approval and validation, you know? So if you have that, self-worth inside kind of like, it's easier to be like, this is some bullshit. Yeah, exactly. Three. So family values and attitudes. If you had a parent who constantly dieted or was an unhappy with their body shape, they will have inadvertently passed on many messages to you.
Interestingly enough, though, sibling rivalry can sometimes fuel negative body image. Somebody has a body that is deemed, you know, quote unquote, acceptable by society. And they're overtly praised for it. Then the self-esteem of the other sibling can suffer.
[00:12:40] Corinne Foxx: I didn't even think about siblings like that because like I, obviously my sisters are 13 and 14.
13 and 14 years older than them. So 14, 15 years older than them. So like, I don't, I'd never experienced that, but I didn't even think about that. Of course, that totally makes sense. I know people are born into different bodies even when they have like the exact same genetic, whatever makeup.
[00:13:00] Natalie McMillan: Yes. Which I think is so cool.
I've been, it's really cool shapes, but yeah, I can definitely see how it would be hard. If you had a sibling that was, you know, part of this acceptable look.
[00:13:12] Corinne Foxx: Yeah. Another factor that influences body image is actually abuse or trauma. So if you experienced trauma assault or abuse than unsurprisingly, this can have a momentous impact on your body image.
Early trauma can be held in the body and can lead to feelings of unworthy. Or unacceptability focusing on changing your body can be a way to dissociate or numb from the painful underlying feelings. Although this process may be entirely unconscious interesting. Another thing that influences body image is puberty.
So particularly in women, puberty can be a trigger for negative body image. Oh. You know when you're like 12 and that at least for me, I got like a little, a little good. I dunno. Well, yeah. And like your bodies, you're like a, like a hokey mom evolving and like
[00:14:00] Natalie McMillan: one arm grows and then like one leg grow, the knees hurt all the time.
Cause I was just like getting taller or something. I don't know. Yeah. But
[00:14:08] Corinne Foxx: like things grow at different times and you're like, none of this proportionally works for all very awkward. Yeah. And also if you develop earlier than your peers or received unwanted attention in relation to your appearance, this can create troubling feelings about
[00:14:20] Natalie McMillan: your body.
Yes. This was like big time me, because literally fifth grade I had boobs, like full-blown boobs. Wow. So talk about awkward. I was in a fifth grade body with like, yeah. Boobs. And so that totally skewed my like perception because also like clothes didn't fit. So I just was like, oh, like, something's wrong with my body?
[00:14:43] Corinne Foxx: You know what I mean? Yeah. I can't imagine how like scary and isolating Meg. And you've got a brothers. You didn't have a sister.
[00:14:49] Natalie McMillan: Is this, how many do you do? No, I did not. Actually. I remember when Kenny opened under my sink one time to look at something and he saw my like tampons and I was mortified. I was like, oh no, he knows.
He knows now.
[00:15:04] Corinne Foxx: Oh good. Like a little girl is worse. I feel so bad. Another factor that influences body image is physical activity. So playing sports and being active is often beneficial for body image. However, if there is pressure to conform to a certain body shape, fitness competitions, ballet, or horse racing as examples.
This can increase body preoccupation and dissatisfaction. We have a friend of ours that was a ballet, a ballerina growing up and like her about her ballet teacher would like, would be like, you could only have one carrot a day.
[00:15:37] Natalie McMillan: And she was like, yeah. It's crazy. It's I that's very understandable. Jesus
[00:15:42] Corinne Foxx: Christ.
Okay. And the last thing that can influence body image is social acceptance or rejection in relation to your body. So if you have been criticized or rejected for how you look, this has an understandably profound impact. Interestingly enough on the flip side of that, if you've been endlessly praised about your appearance, it can lead to greater bodies of satisfaction and feeling pressured to maintain your looks.
So if you're like, oh my God, you look so great. You look so great. Am I gonna look at you in those long legs?
[00:16:13] Natalie McMillan: And then you feel like if your body changes at all people more like, um, That makes sense. That makes sense. So let's talk about
[00:16:20] Corinne Foxx: summertime right now. And we were just talking about hot girl summer and why that can be a particularly triggering time.
[00:16:28] Natalie McMillan: Yeah. So there are so many things to enjoy about summer, including the beach cookouts outside dining drinks, outdoor activities like hiking, just that warm air. Oh, I love the summer warm air and just being. Get some vitamin D from the sun. However, if you struggle with an eating disorder or body image, summer may not feel so enjoyable right now.
Yeah. And the first reason is that people just wear less and lighter clothes cause it's hot. Yes. I'm sure. Kerryn probably is wanting to wear less clothes right now. Cause she's on a sweater, very hot and it's
[00:17:02] Corinne Foxx: hot room and I'm wearing a sweater and it's like, why?
[00:17:06] Natalie McMillan: So when you're hot, you got to wear less in the fall winter, early spring.
A lot of people with body image issues can sort of hide in large baggy clothing. However, to go out in the summer, you have to wear a little more revealing. Clothing, you know, so you don't get heat stroke, which that also happened to Corrine a few weeks ago while we were recording while we were running very hot, apparently.
And if you do decide to wear concealing clothing, those around you may comment on it, which makes most people hyper aware of their bodies, which is very uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it would be like if it was like a hundred and you were in jeans, People would be like, are you like me now?
[00:17:46] Corinne Foxx: Why am I wearing jeans and a sweater?
Okay. I was just lied to by my weather app. Um, so, uh, another reason that summer can be really triggering is that there are more opportunities for body checking, which I didn't even know what body checking was, but body checking and. Obsessive thoughts and behaviors about your appearance. So individuals may stand in front of mirrors or get distracted by their reflections and, you know, show windows, analyzing the parts of their bodies that they don't like.
So you might spend more time checking things like the size of your thighs or acne spots. You know, now that you're like less covered up. Yeah. We'll show.
[00:18:22] Natalie McMillan: I have a friend who has struggled with her body image a lot. And I noticed if I walk with. She looks at every single car that's like parked on the street.
Cause she looks at her reflection in the. Yeah, I
[00:18:35] Corinne Foxx: didn't even know about cause that's so interesting and yeah, I didn't know what that was. Another reason that summertime is triggering is that there's more social media. Yeah. It seems like every single event we attended is photograph there's music festivals, you know, and if we're not feeling great about the ways that our body.
During the summer, whether that be in shorts and a tank top or in a bikini, then there's like a lot more added pressure in the back of our minds that a photo might be taken and like uploaded without our permission. You know, you
[00:19:05] Natalie McMillan: get that tag and you're like that. Wasn't what I wanted.
[00:19:08] Corinne Foxx: Exactly. Exactly. So for all of these reasons that we just learned, what are some ways that we can protect our body
[00:19:14] Natalie McMillan: image this summer?
Yes. Number one stop using the term summer body. The phrase summer body implies that bodies need to look a certain way. Favoring thinner bodies in order to be able to enjoy summer. And that's from Sierra Calloway, Jefferson who is an eating disorder specialist based in Ohio in order to move away from a culture that values summer bodies, Robin Hornstein.
Who's a licensed psychologists. Says, we should just drop the term all together and shift into a body positivity mindset instead, or body neutrality, which go to our episode with Dana. We'll put it in the show notes, what episode that was because we talk all about it. Another tip smash, the scale, smash it, stop measuring your worth by the numbers on your scale.
Many of us have been led to believe. We need to fit into a certain percentile to ensure our bodies are healthy. To change this mindset, just throw it away, get rid of it. Then celebrate a life where you can accept your body as it is also practicing positive self-talk. So self-compassion is the ability to see yourself through the eyes of someone you love.
I've been working on that recently
[00:20:31] Corinne Foxx: when I read. God, what's that book that I love, um, the four green you're a bad-ass you are a bad ass or whatever we got Jensen. Yeah, that was one thing that I wrote down on a sticky note. And I put it up in my bathroom. It says, see yourself as someone who admires you,
[00:20:48] Natalie McMillan: it's really, it's a really good tip.
So begin by practicing more body neutrality instead of hating your body, lean more into the acceptance of it. And then from there, you can discover aspects of yourself that you truly.
[00:21:02] Corinne Foxx: I love that. I love that too. So another way that you can protect your body image this summer is to consume media with a critical eyes.
So from Facebook to Instagram, and you know, your favorite TV shows, people are constantly integrated with images of the perfect lifestyle that is totally unachievable. So during the summer, especially it's common for the body image to take a big hit each day with constant advertisements aimed at attaining a.
That trigger word, summer body to combat this near constant assault. It's important for at-risk people and their families to become more critical viewers of the media. So you should take the time to exclude messages or attitudes that make you feel bad about yourself from their daily media consumption.
So you can unfollow block report images or accounts that may be misleading or promoting a negative body image.
[00:21:58] Natalie McMillan: And it's very hard because. You know, we're just surrounded by everybody face tuning their wastes into oblivion, just like what.
[00:22:08] Corinne Foxx: Another way to protect your body image. This summer is just surround yourself with positive people.
It is easier to feel good about yourself in your body when you are around others who are supportive and who recognize the importance of liking yourself just as you naturally are. Yeah.
[00:22:24] Natalie McMillan: That's a really good point. And I love that our front, none of our friend group is like, oh my God. I need to change my body and you know, it's never a topic of conversation and I love that for us.
[00:22:35] Corinne Foxx: And I love that another way that you can protect your body image to summer is to stop using the term. I feel fat and ask yourself what you're really feeling. So according to Stella, Staffy a integrative psychotherapists, specializing in body image related issues. We should all dig in a little deeper.
When we think we're feeling quote unquote fat. She says since quote unquote, fat is not a feeling, what is it that we are actually feeling when we think we feel fat? Well that's many things. A whole range of challenging emotions can be interpreted as feeling fat, including fear. Anger sadness, loneliness, anxiety, et cetera.
That kind of reminds me of like, when you're in therapy, it's like naming the emotion, right. That's not an emotion. So like what are we actually feeling? Yes. And so once you have determined the root emotion behind the feeling, offer yourself some support around it, you can do that in several ways, like talking with a therapist, um, mindfulness practices, E F T a emotional freedom technique, which I've never
[00:23:38] Natalie McMillan: heard.
Oh, that's like the tapping. Have you ever seen like
[00:23:41] Corinne Foxx: the tapping? Yeah. You can also do writing and journaling and expressive movement. I love love it. And another thing that you can do to help protect your body image, this. Seek help when you need it. So if you really feel like you're struggling, consider reaching out to a mental health professional, and you can find resources on the national eating disorders website, which is national eating disorders.org.
And we will link it in our show notes.
[00:24:07] Natalie McMillan: Yes, we will. And so this last tip, this one, isn't so much about protecting your own body. But the ones around you. So that is to be a good role model. If you had younger siblings or if you've got children of your own, and honestly like even your friends and they hear you complaining about your appearance in your bathing suit or shorts or whatever, they are more likely to feel concerned about their own appearance.
And actually I remembered this was such an interesting lesson for me when my cousin. Her daughter was like six, maybe. And they were in a dressing room at target. And Carrie made my cousin made some sort of comment about her own body and Lillian at the time, the six year old. I asked her, she was like, do my legs look okay.
And then Carrie realized like, oh my God, I have to be.
[00:24:57] Corinne Foxx: So they're observing everything, you know, including that the negative self-talk and it's so automatic sometimes, you know, you just say things. So that's really, really important. Well, we hope you learn more about how summertime affects our body image, the types of body image.
And how they're formed and how to protect your body image. You can have a fab summer
[00:25:19] Natalie McMillan: crappy summer 2020.
[00:25:22] Corinne Foxx: To 20 days, I was like sitting. I was like,
[00:25:26] Natalie McMillan: you know, first of all, it is hot. My brain's cooking. But second of all, these past two years, who knows, I don't know.
[00:25:32] Corinne Foxx: I switched no idea. Okay. So now let's circle back on this.
Josh Sabean belong. We've been drinking and rate it to our Hottie bleak
[00:25:42] Natalie McMillan: or how. And, you know, we usually have themed ones, but this one, we were just like, we just love her
[00:25:48] Corinne Foxx: Doja cat. I love dosha cat. I just saw her Coachella. I cried. She's, I'm not kidding. Like, oh, I believe you looked over at me. And I was watching her and I was crying and I just said, I haven't been this happy in a long.
And he was like, okay. She was incredible, her dancing and she's on tour this summer. So that kind of, yeah. Okay. There we go. There's that? I think she's going to get Lollapalooza. I just saw in like July or August, which I'm very jealous about. So one to miss dosha, cat, what are we thinking of this, Josh?
[00:26:24] Natalie McMillan: It's it is what it is. It's I think it's just like, okay, it's decent.
[00:26:29] Corinne Foxx: Okay. One to dosha, cat. Oh, you is six, seven. You have a seven. All right, let's just give it a second. Okay. It's a seven out of dosha. Cat.
All right. This is the part of the episode where you play a little wrap-up game. And this is a new one, you guys. Okay. Because at the moment this was, this was my pitch and it might not work out and that's okay. It's okay. That is okay. So,
[00:26:57] Natalie McMillan: okay. And into our, how to recover from failure episodes.
We'll link that one to

[00:27:05] Corinne Foxx: that one shoe. Okay. So the game, the name of the game is guests the same word. Yeah. And we don't know this will, this will stick, but we're going to try. So this is a Tik TOK trend I've been seeing. It's like two best friends and they, they, they have, uh, they have a category. Okay.
Well, let's say we're going to start with like breakfast. Okay. I think we, we practice. So then you would say 1, 2, 3, and then after three, you and I would both say a word, so let's practice. Okay. 1, 2, 3 day. So I said bacon and you said toast. Okay. So we have to then take those words and try to find a word that is in between those two.
That like connect those two. Oh. And Hey, we're going to land on the same. Okay. So you said pagan. I said toes and I mean, I said bacon, you said to us that's all right. But I would say she really 1, 2, 3, all Benedict.

[00:28:07] Corinne Foxx: lunch? Why would I go lunch?
You know, you never know. That's kind of how it works. Okay. So we're going to try to get, get to the same word. Okay. And I've realized now, watching tech talks, people I've done this a million times until they do it and then they post it. So of course, this is, this is real time guys. Um, so let's pick a category.
