We talked about: - how body image is susceptible to many influences - what are precipitating, perpetuating, protective and pre-disposing factors when it comes to our body image and how we can mitiga...

The science is helpful, but not the full picture! There is no moral value in movement, and you don't owe it to anyone to move. AND: moving can be beneficial to yo...
