159. ‘A celebrity in a bikini? Gold’: the toxic tabloids of the 00s
01:22:59||Ep. 159At the height of their popularity newspapers like The Sun and The Mirror were selling over 5 million copies a day, while magazines like Heat were distributing over 600,00 copies weekly. As we go one step further into understanding the ways in which we feel about our own bodies - we thought we needed to explore more than just nature’s part in our story, and look at nurture’s involvement in this too.In the UK, tabloids were HUGE and as a result, were massively instrumental in informing so much of how we viewed the world and the women around us, but in the context of this series, we wanted to explore how pivotal they were in establishing how we curated the relationship we had with ourselves and our bodies.Thanks so much to our amazing guests who feature on this episode: Giles Harrison, Holly Hagan and Isabel Mohan Find out more about Giles’ work here: https://londonentertainmentgroup.com/ Follow @londonentertainmentgroup on InstagramFollow @hollyhaganblyth on InstagramFollow @Isabel.Mohan on InstagramSubscribe to Isabel’s substack here: https://keepitupfatty.substack.com/ - where she writes about the major journey she has been on with body image and how she has now made it her mission through writing to encourage more people, especially women, to be more active and confident.

43:50|This week on Should I Delete That, we’re investigating the ‘Almond Mom’ phenomenon. This is our conversation with the brilliant Molly Forbes - she is an author, campaigner, and the founder of The Body Happy Organisation. Our chat with Molly is full of incredible practical advice and insight into how we can build positive body image for both ourselves and our children. We also spoke to Molly about how it’s not just mums who play a role in building up our body image - and why perhaps we shouldn’t be placing all the pressure on mothers… You can find The Body Happy Organisation’s free resources here: https://www.bodyhappyorg.com/start-here Molly’s books Every Body and Body Happy Kids are available now - get your copies here!Follow @mollyjforbes on InstagramFollow @bodyhappyorg on Instagram If you would like to get in touch - you can email us on shouldideletethat@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram:@shouldideletethat@em_clarkson@alexlight_ldnShould I Delete That is produced by Faye LawrenceMusic: Dex RoyStudio Manager: Dex RoyTrailers: Sophie RichardsonVideo Editor: Celia GomezSocial Media Manager: Emma-Kirsty Fraser158. What is an Almond Mom?
55:49||Ep. 158A term made famous by Yolanda Hadid, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and mother to supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid, “Almond Mom” refers to the type of mother who sets their child up to be obsessed with food and their bodies in ways that are both toxic and harmful.In this, the second episode of our Body Image series, we explore generational trauma in the context of diet culture, and take a deeper look at the wounds passed down from our grandmothers, to our mothers and in turn - to us. Many millennials feel very passionately that they want to be the ones to break this cycle, that we don’t want our kids to watch us starting a new diet every Monday, or never wearing a swimming costume or eating a biscuit without first apologising for it, and as relatively new mothers ourselves, this is something we feel deeply passionate about.Thanks so much to our amazing guests who feature on this episode: Phillippa Diedrichs, Molly Forbes, Beth and Bev.

57:18|Phillippa Diedrichs is a Professor of Psychology and body image and mental health expert. She works at the Centre for Appearance Research and has spent the last 20 years studying body confidence - what influences how we think and feel about how we look and what we can do as a society to create an environment where we can accept and love our bodies. She also works with brands and organisations within the beauty and fitness industries to help them think about what they put out into the world, and how they can be part of the solution to help create a world that is accepting of bodies of all sizes. This series grew so much bigger than we ever expected it to be thanks to the amazing insights our guests gave us - so we decided to release some of those expert conversations in their entirely. Each Thursday, you will hear an in depth conversation which will drill down into different themes which we will explore across the eight weeks of this series. This is the first of those conversations and we hope you love it.

The Shocking History of Diet Culture
52:24||Ep. 157New year, new me? Welcome to our expansive eight-part series deconstructing our relationships with body image.From the historical origins of diet culture, to the present day where injectable weight loss drugs are available from high street pharmacies, Alex and Em will strip back our assumptions about diet culture and body image, to find out how we got here, and how we can find a healthy way to look forward. By speaking to a range of experts, from dieticians to fitness influencers - we’ll explore the damaging effects of tabloid media and weight loss TV shows, we will examine the phenomenon of the ‘Almond Mom’ and we will uncover diet culture’s ‘wellness’ rebrand - to equip our listeners with the knowledge and practical steps to navigate a world where diet culture lurks around every corner. Today - we’re starting off by taking a look at the origins of diet culture, because to really get a sense of the magnitude of diet culture and the effects that it has had on our lives, we need to go back to its roots. So, in this episode, we’re going back in time to the advent of diet culture, in the hope it helps us figure out how these debilitating body issues that burden so many women have come to be – and why… Is it all innate? Do we have a biological predisposition to desiring to be thin? Let’s dig in.If you want to dig further into diet culture, self-acceptance and making peace with your body - Alex’s book You Are Not A Before Picture is available now.
