Weight-Loss Apocalypse

In this session, they discuss the illusion that being a "better" person would provide the comfort of being accepted. But if that idea of what you should be creates discontent and judgment about your true self, and results in misery, is it really better? Robin discusses this idea as it relates to body image, in her books Thin Supremacy and Diet Supremacy.

In this session, they discuss the toxic wellness culture that promotes disordered eating. She has suffered from years of anorexia that has transformed into an obsession with health and "clean" eating. She ends up having binge eating behavior, when she can't maintain her perfectionistic health ideals and ideas of health through thinness. Robin describes this in her books Diet Supremacy: The Toxic Bond Between Shame, Dieting, and Emotional Eating, and Body Supremacy: Exploring the Torments of Eating Disorders as a Syndrome.
