Body Confidence and Dating
Hear what our listeners love about their body
Discuss how body confidence issues come from the messages we absorb growing up
Hear Amelia’s story about her body confidence and dating as a plus sized woman: how people have made her confidence worse in the past and having to deal with fetishisation
This week we’re joined by our lovely friend Amelia, to discuss body confidence and dating.
We begin the episode with a segment where we hear something our listeners like about their body, to get us into the mood of body positivity. Then, Amelia tells us about her experience of dating as a plus sized woman and dealing with body confidence. She explains that bigger women can sometimes be fetishised when dating, and that her body confidence issues in the past have come from dating people who haven’t appreciated her body or treated her kindly. This happened in one past relationship in particular, which we touch on, before hearing a bit about how Amelia has come to accept her body and celebrate it. She tells us how dating women has helped a lot with her body image, as she can see how features she has disliked on herself are attractive on someone else, which is affirming.
We hope you enjoy the episode! You can find more of Amelia on Instagram @meels0nwhee1s. Please send us your artwork, writing or sexy confessions.
