YOUR BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM
Hello Beautiful!
Happy new year <3
I know it's been a hot minute since the last time I released an episode; life was very heavy in 2025 and I spent a lot of time taking care of my mental health and going to therapy.
There have been so many things I wanted to share with you, and I figured starting with our most recent trip to Saint Lucia for the holidays would be a fun place to start.
I hope you find this episode helpful, and I can't wait to hear what you think!
Your body is not the problem!
They're telling you your arms are the problem. I'm telling you...
YOUR ARMS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!
What do YOU want to think? What are you WILLING to think? What do you NEED to think?
It feels like I need to yell from the roof tops right now with everything I've seen online lately that YOUR ARMS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. Typically, I don't see diety/toxic content on social media, but two body positive content creators I follow both posted about the same IMO unhelpful workout program.
So, today we're hopping on facetime and discussing WHY your arms are not the problem, with tips and challenges you can implement to begin seeing your arms as your friend.
YOUR ARMS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!
For so many years I was solely focused on taking care of my weight loss instead of myself. And that makes the years I spent sick make a shit ton of sense. Today I discuss ways in which you may be taking care of your weight loss instead of yourself, where those beliefs could stem from, and what taking care of you may look like.
I hope this episode is helpful!
Your body is not the problem!
With more holidays approaching, I wanted to share with you 8 things you can start/stop in order to be an even better host! Obivously, you don't need to do any of them, but I believe they are all low energy/low stake actions that you can take that would provide extra energy/appreciation from your guests!
Can't wait to hear what you think of today's episode and what actions you will take before hosting your friends/family this year. And if you're not hosting... feel free to share this episode to your stories in an indirect way of encouraging those who are hosting you to maybe make some simple changes.
Cause the goal is that every one has fun right?
Your body is not the problem!
This is not medical advice
At the beginning of this month I went to an allergist and denied being weighed. The allergist was fine with it... However, after I shared a reel on Instagram describing my experience, there were a lot of random men who were pissed.
That reel has since been taken down because Instagram continued to push it (300,000 views) to men who were making nasty comments, not just to myself but also to others who had left positive comments. I did share their Instagram handles in the episode because I thought it lightened the episode and was a friendly reminder that these strangers should not get to dictate how we feel about our bodies. But I chose the comments that were less mean and more so just uneducated/diet culturey and that we could have had a conversation about, IF they had been civil in the comment section.
With that, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on today's episode! Have you ever wanted to or have denied being weighed at an appointment? Your body is not the problem!
I had the realization over the summer that for most of my life I have been a 'Be safe' person. Which like, there's nothing technically wrong with it but I experienced the difference of being told 'be safe' and 'have fun' about the same activitity and I was like holy shit do the two of those feel different. And I would love to implement saying 'have fun' more than I say 'be safe' to others and to myself.
As I continued thinking about the two statements I realized how it can be applied to our body image, and so that's what I share with you today!
Can't wait to hear what you think :)

It's a reminder that is extra heavy this year but so helpful to remember to zoom OUT.

Are you falling into the Menstrual Cycle Box?
You might be if you get mad at your body for not having energy when you're ovulating and or using your luteal phase as an 'excuse' for being grumpy etc.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's VITAL to understand your cycle and to use it as a tool to listen to your body and decipher it's messages and I think that sometimes we get stuck in this box that leaves us feeling more frustrated or mad at our bodies than is warranted!
Would love to hear what you think of today's episode! Please feel free to DM me on Instagram @_leahtang

Graeme and I were shopping for a tshirt a few weeks ago and I went in wearing a shirt that was an XL and tried on a shirt that was XXS. When we base our worth on our size we can realize how silly of a metric that is when it's capable of changing within one minute without our body changing. AND EVEN IF OUR BODY DID CHANGE, YOUR BODY IS STILL NOT THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear what you think of today's episode! Your body is not the problem.
I have been saving quotes I see on social media for you! They're not your typical quote but rather ones that I think pack a punch and will hopefully leave you feeling good and optimisitc! <3

Today we discuss five mindsets that can be holding us back from a healthier body image!
These mindsets aren't an issue with you or your brain; they're protection mechanisms, they're influences from society to profit off us, they're learned behaviors.
I hope this episode helps and I can't wait to hear what you think! Your body is not the problem!

Children can start being aware of their body as young as three years old. Most of us can remember comparing our bodies and feeling insecure as young as ten years old. Body Happy Organization works to help children and young people celebrate, respect and accept all bodies - especially their own. Molly and her team work to stop poor body image from ever starting in the first place!
This episode is for anyone and everyone who has younger humans in their life. We all play a role (alongside society, social media, tv, etc.) in the body image of those around us. Molly shares realistic and doable mindset shifts and actions we can take as the adult to support the younger humans around us.
Today we chat about:
- What a parent should do if their child comes to them saying that they want to be healthy or go on a diet
- How social media imacts the body image of younger humans
- How to approach family members who make comments on your childrens body (even if they're positive/well-intentioned)
- How to know what is the right amount of exercise and how to help them fuel without it being diety
And so much more!
Molly has released two amazing books!

I used to say I needed to lose weight and I've heard so many others use the same wording and so I wanted to share a mindset shift that will support your body image when it comes to thinking you need to lose weight!
Your body is not the problem!
There are two sentences, comprised of 7 words to respond with INSTEAD of congratulating weight loss. Boring, try something else. Been there, done that and it doesn't actually feel good or help.
Instead, I share with you two super simple sentences you won't forget for the next time you're in a conversation where someone is discussing how a body has changed.

If you ask silly questions, you're likely to get silly answers that aren't helpful because you haven't actually communicated what you need and set your expectations for what the answers will do for you!
It's time to have a conversation with whomever you live with or best friend so that they can actually be helpful and to prevent arguments or you feeling worse after asking the question!

63 comments on body image!!! I don't cover all of them in today's episode, because you should read the novel if you're interested but Mile High by Liz Tomforde had some great body image content!
Let me know if you decide to read it and what your thoughts are!

One of the biggest things holding you back from loving your body and the health & fitness results you want is the fact that you still see your body as the enemy.
You try to fight against it by restricting food and over exercising. You try to run away from it by numbing with social media, alcohol and drugs.
When will you realize that your body is on your team?!
What would it take for you to no longer see your body as the problem?
This is the question I ask in today's episode and would love to hear your answers!

We have all been raised in a fat phobic society and we are all in some way at least a little fat phobic. It would be difficult to be raised in this society and not be. I know I personally have been fat phobic and have done a lot of work to unlearn the fat phobic beliefs I had in my mind.

I think at some point we all go through a time where we struggle to see our body clearly and I've noticed from my personal experiences and those I've helped that CLOTHING can be a big reason why! Between sizing and wearing super tight workout clothing vs. flowy going out clothes, it can definitely increase the difficulty of seeing your body clearly.
I hope this episode can help bring awareness to an area of your body image that could use some work and give you clear directions on how to improve seeing your body clearly!
Your body is not the problem!

So, I split up the tips into 3 categories: Your energy, Your Self -Talk and Your Clothes.
This episode along with the one I share below, are resources you can use when you're struggling to be neutral/positive towards your body.

Your body is NOT the problem!
You're not alone if you struggle to stop eating when you're full or don't like what you're eating!
Maybe you struggle to stop eating because:
- You know you won't allow yourself to eat it again for quite awhile
- You've been raised to always finish everything on your plate/don't waste food
- It tastes so good and you just can't stop
- You're trying to get your monies worth
- You have no energy left to make something different
I can remember thinking all of these things and so today I share with you mindset shifts you can make so that you can be better at listening to your body when you are full and not feeling guilty when you do have to throw out some food!

Your body is NOT the problem!
Nobody was born hating their body or being insecure.
Society created your insecurities because they know they can make so much money and they do!
There's nothing actually wrong with your cellulite or your stretchmarks but they want you to think that because if you do, then they can use your insecurities against you.
Remember, your body is NOT the problem!
Today, I share with you how society targets our insecurities to make more money, a clear example and what to do about it.
Your body is NOT the problem! Here are the other episodes I mentioned:

From my experience and those I have helped, it's so easy to feel like we're making zero progress or not enough when we are prioritizing weight loss as our main goal and using the scale, measurements and photos to try and see progress!
You can make a lot more progress by shifting your focus and your progress markers!

We start May 1st and for 75 days we will have 8 tasks and 1 habit that we are trying to break. I lay out all of the details, WHY I chose the tasks I did, next steps and what you will get in this episode.
I can't wait to work through this challenge with you!
Your body is not the problem!
Part of the reason why I didn't like my body for so long was because I truly felt like my body was against me. My body was broken and I wanted a refund. Through all my pains & struggles it felt impossible for me to express gratitude towards my body.
It wasn't until I realized that my body was on my team that I was finally able to start shifting my thoughts to express more gratitude. Now, the gratitude didn't take away the pain but I believe it provided me a lot more hope for healing.
Your body is on your team and I really hope this episode supports you in being more grateful for your body!
Don't forget to tag me on Instagram after you listen & tell me what you're grateful for when it comes to your body.

Time to spring clean your... MIND!
Step #1: Write out a list of ALL of the things you are currently thinking about yourself and your body! Negative, mean, critical, neutral, random, list it all!
Step #2: Write out a list of ALL of the things you would LOVE to think and feel about yourself and body this year!
Step #3: Start disproving the first list and think of what new (maybe neutral) thoughts would help you reach the 2nd list you made of what you do want to think and feel about your body this year.
Remember, your body is NOT the problem and you do not need to change your body FIRST in order to think new thoughts and feel how you want to feel about your body.
Instead, change you how you think and feel about your body FIRST and see just how many parts of your life can transform this year!
Don't forget to tag me @_leahtang on Instagram when you listen! Feel free to share the 2nd list you make or the 3rd step!
With Spring time comes the usual body image struggles - Less clothes, pale skin and hairy legs... but do these things have to be seen as struggles? What if we could embrace our body even more during this seasonal change? Take this reset as a new opportunity to challenge ourselves to be kinder to ourselves and embrace our body as it is!

I was on a weight loss journey from 2016 all the way until late 2020 that was soley focused on my weight. I had been mislead to believe that no matter what I would be healthier if I lost weight but that was definitely not the case for me ESPECIALLY because I went about the weight loss in such an unhealthy way but the tricky part was that it was hard to see my actions as unhealthy thanks to diet culture and the fitness industry. My weight loss was celebrated SO much and no one knew the things I was doing that are so common in our society nowadays that CAN be detrimental to our health.
I wanted to create this episode not to scare you away from diets but to give you a more FULLER picture. I created today's episode because I was under the impression for a long time that good for weight loss meant good for you but have since learned that things that are good for weight loss aren't always good for you and that you can choose the things that ARE good for you and they can be good for weight loss.
Of course, I no longer recommend weighing yourself, setting a goal weight or making weight loss your main goal BUT if you are doing it for YOU, have healed your body image (know weight loss doesn't make you more worthy or beautiful etc) and want to go about it in a healthy, sustainable and fun way then this episode is for you! And this episode will also support you if you just want to be healthier and feel your best physically AND mentally!

What do you remember from gym class? I remember how teachers assumed we could run 5k without stretching before or after and without training and without making sure we were properly fueled and hydrated.
I remember feeling extra insecure about me and my body because I got bad grades in gym class and was very often picked last.
I remember being nervous that people would think I was weird for wearing basketball shorts when all of the other girls were wearing short lululemon shorts for volleyball.
I personally don't have fond memories of gym class and there are a lot of ways in which it impacted my relationship with exercise and my body!
Today's episode we dive into how gym class may have impacted your relationship with exercise and how you can go about creating a NEW experience and relationship with exercise!

Your body is NOT the problem!
In a world where everyone is trying to tell you what to eat/ what not to eat, what's healthy/ what's unhealthy and what's good/ and what's bad, it can be difficult to know what the heck you should actually be eating!
This method isn't telling you what to eat or how much to eat but it's a way to determine whether or not you want to eat something and it's based off of two factors that I share in today's episode.
I hope this helps you feel your best and make more informed decisions for your body so that you two can be the best team together!
Your body is NOT the problem!
Have you ever been worried about your partner noticing that you've gained weight? Has gaining weight in your relationship made you feel less beautiful, worthy and enough? Has gaining weight made you feel more insecure in your relationship?
People are always talking about Freshman 15 and now I feel like many talk about Relationship 15.
Well, for Graeme and I, we had relationship 80. We started dating when we were 15 and between 17 and 19 I gained 80lbs due to numerous reasons but seeing as I already had poor body image, my body image only got worse. I struggled with seeing myself as more than just a body and at my heaviest I truly believed I had a bad body because of society. I ended up losing a lot of weight between 2016 & 2017 but because I had poor body image and didn't understand anything really about health, I lost a lot of weight in an unhealthy way and remained unhealthy AND as Graeme mentions, losing weight actually made me objectify myself MORE!
So today, we wanted to have a conversation and share some of the things we learned and would do differently after experiencing significant weight gain during our relationship.
We talk about comments Graeme made about my body that didn't help and whether or not he could have done things differently. We discuss how to bring up health to your partner who may be feeling like they just need to lose weight to feel more beautiful and SO MUCH MORE!

Your body is NOT the problem!
Instead of reflecting on how you did or didn't change your body this year and instead of setting goals for how you want to change your appearance for 2023, let's reflect on your body image and set goals for how you want to THINK & FEEL about your body in 2023!

Your body is NOT the problem!
Hello December 26th... what can often feel like the most diety time of the year!
Today I walk you through an exercise that is aimed at helping you to not feel intruiged by all of the diet talk and quick fixes you may be hearing about and seeing on social media as the new year quickly approaches.
I've been able to get my mindset to a place where when someone says "I need to work off this food tomorrow" that my brain no longer thinks that sounds like a great idea and that's exactly what I'm going to help you with in this episode!
I feel as though we're only subjected to the 'shiny' 'this is good for you' side of fad diets and quick fixes and very often are missing the whole picture and hence we can't actually make a proper informed decision for what is best for us and our body!
So my goal isn't to say these things are "BAD" but if you want to start off the new year on your own terms and from a healthier mindset then this episode is for YOU!
I can't wait to hear what you think of it and how the exercise goes for you!
Your body is NOT the problem!
Today I wanted to share with you some things you can do this weekend that can help you be more present and less consumed by thoughts about your body!
I share reminders/tips for how you start your day, what you wear, nutrition and whether or not you choose to move your body! I also included some affirmations/mantras for you!
If you're celebrating Christmas this weekend, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
If you're just hanging out, HAPPY WEEKEND!
Love ya!

Your body is NOT the problem!
I'm blown away by Season 33 Episode 5 of The Simpsons! Maybe my standards weren't super high but it's because I've NEVER seen a show depict body image struggles in this way AND leave you feeling less alone, optimistic and postivie!
Yes, it's a newer episodes but I've watched MANY shows that came out this year that have done the opposite of what this Simpsons episode did.
So I wanted to share my thoughts on it quickly and encourage you to go watch the episode for yourself! You can find it on Disney+!

I hope this helps give you some ideas of what you can do while also setting boundaries for your energy!
Your body is not the problem and neither is theirs!
Are you tired of feeling insecure about your body? And do you kinda feel like you've tried everything to not be insecure? You've tried:
- Fad Diets
- Exercise
- Lotions
- Full On Hiding Your Body (Jeans & Long sleeves in Summer)
- Faking It Till You Make It
And NOTHING has worked?
Well I used to be SO inescure about SO many parts of my body and I felt the same way. I thought my body was the problem.
BUT your body is NOT the problem! Today I share with you common insecurities that I also struggled with and what mindset shifts I made in order to no longer feel insecure!
We cover insecurities such as:
- Loose Skin On Your Stomach
- Stretchmarks
- How Much I Ate
- How Little I Could Do In The Gym
- Body Hair
- Wearing A Bikini
- Crooked & Yellow Teeth
And MORE! I also included two that are more specific to me that include a cute story about falling more in love with Graeme (before we were even dating) but they end with a lesson I think we can all learn from! As well as my thoughts on wanting what you don't have.
I have so many more to add, like cellulite, acne, hips, dandruff and more! If you want a part 2, please take a screenshot of this episode and let me know on Instagram by tagging me @_leahtang!

Your body is not the problem!
When you enter the body positive space on social media you may feel like you're not 'allowed' to want to change your body. It may feel like you're not allowed to love your body AND want to change it but I DISAGREE!
I think you CAN love your body and want to change it but I have a few requirements that I think about and encourage clients to think about before making any changes!
I also share my opinions on setting weight loss as a goal! My opinions on all of these things have changed sooo much over the years and let that inspire you to know that it's OK to change your opinions and beliefs!

Hello beautiful!
I put up a poll on my Instagram that had 5 options to choose from. 12 people voted that they have gained weight, 10 people aren’t fully sure but think they’ve gained weight. 2 people voted that they know they haven’t gained weight, 5 don’t know for sure but don’t think they gained weight and 4 don’t weigh themselves and don’t care!
For me personally, I have not weighed myself once since July 2021! I have noticed that I think I have gained weight but I’m able to be very neutral towards it and don’t see it in a negative light at all because I’m focused on how I feel and how I feel mentally and physically is SO good!
So whether you gained a little and it feels like a lot or you gained a lot and it feels like the world is crashing down around you… or maybe you’re scared of gaining weight…
Today I share with you 15 things you need to know and maybe need to hear right now!

We're always talking about how to handle it when others judge us and make assumptions about us but today I want to discuss how when we practice judging others less, it can help us judge ourselves less AND what you put out into the world you get back so if we can judge less then we will be judged less also!
