On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren review a viral TikTok that a concerned listener sent into the show involving damaging, shameful & fatphobic language as a form of motivation when it comes to working out. There’s an audience for this but why is it just now becoming openly popular? Is divisiveness as an engagement tool detrimental to our mental health? Lol probably! The two review the history and appeal of shame as a motivator along with some research on the subject. Finally, they both share personal anecdotes on the topic of shame and motivation and yes, they both have fridge photo stories. Alright, time for some much needed mirror mantras.
