Did you know that the desire to be thinner in girls can start as early as age 6? In fact, 50% of girls and 30% of boys aged 6-8 are already aware of their body size and want to be thinner than they are. Why is this an issue? Research shows that body-positive kids who assume they are healthy (regardless of what anyone else thinks about their health or weight) are more likely to have a healthy relationship with food and their body, more likely to be healthier overall, and less likely to engage in risky dieting behaviours like purging or restricting.

If you’ve ever been on a diet before, you understand how exciting and promising starting a new diet can feel. The hope that maybe this time things will be different. In most cases, that initial lustre wears off quickly, and any form of dieting or “lifestyle change” becomes unsustainable in the long run. You are not alone. This is not you failing the diet, this is the diet failing you. If you want to get out of the diet cycle for good, this webinar is for you.
