Ditching diet culture and switching up the story can feel like an uphill battle when everyone around is singing the same old tune. Ever found yourself aiming to eat in tune with your body or pick healthier options, only to be told you’re not doing it “right”? Or tried to get cozy with the idea of loving yourself just as you are, but the “ideal” bodies don’t match up with yours everywhere you look?
You’re definitely not on this journey solo. It’s not just the folks we bump into every day; our screens are bombarded with these messages too. With most of us glued to social media for a couple of hours daily, that’s a whole lot of diet culture vibes we’re soaking up, especially if our feeds are packed with it.
And here’s the scoop on social media like Instagram: they’ve got this algorithm thing that’s supposed to make our scrolling more interesting by showing us stuff we’ve shown interest in before. So if I’m all over #cleaneating and similar accounts, my feed’s going to be a mirror of that. Handy when it’s stuff that lifts you up, but it’s a slippery slope into a diet culture spiral if it’s not. That endless scroll can quickly turn into a dive into some not-so-healthy thinking patterns.
