When You Care About What Everyone Thinks with Molly Seifert :: Episode 8
What’s up podcast peeps! You asked and I am answering on today’s show! We tend to jump to black and white thinking about this one … “I just wish I could stop caring about what other people think,” or the opposite, “I care so much about what other people think.” We can acknowledge that someone else’s judgment is more about them than it is about us. Absolutely, that is 100% true! And also, it still makes us feel a certain way. So if we only focus on this being about them and not about us then we are once again ignoring, masking, and pushing down the emotions that are welling up within us. Listen in to learn more about: Asking ourselves this question: When we worry about what other people are thinking, what do we hope they are thinking about us? Is it approval or acceptance?

Listen in to learn more: Weight Stima and the impact of it in the medical field[11:11] The bottom line is that there are healthy people in large bodies and those in large bodies who are unhealthy; there are people in small bodies who are healthy and those in small bodies who are unhealthy, so let’s just take the “bodies” out of it. [18:49] This will never end until somebody says that we have to break this cycle and make health care about health, not weight. [24:06] Any positive activity is still positive. There is not some bar of magnitude that if it is not “this,” then it doesn’t count. It all counts. [29:47] Make sure you get all the possible treatment options for your condition in the first encounter with your doctor. You shouldn’t have to lose weight to access the rest of your health care.
