This poem was inspired by my trip to Thailand and this gorgeous guy I met who i'll call "Mooncake". He taught me so much about myself and about Body Image which helped me to feel even more free around food and the experience of sharing food, textures, flavours and culture. I have a fit and able body and I want to use it in every way I can whilst living my best life, thank you for the reminder. Thank you for showing me love is more than 2 bodies who have sex, more than a romantic relationship and deeper than aesthetics. Even though you are beautiful, it's not who you are.

I met Annie in Thailand on OM&BASS yoga retreat. Annie is also a coach and PT and has her own journey of body confidence that i wanted to share with the world.

In today's episode I share with you my poem I wrote for StrongHER fitness and mindset event in London on Sept 30th 2017. I was in flow one day and created a poem instead of a speech.

I want this message shared, so we can stop discriminating and educate ourselves that Health comes in all shapes and sizes and so does Eating Disorders.

Welcome to Episode 37 of the feystelFIT Podcast, this one was a radio show done live at 91.8 Hayes fm, local radio so we do have to cut out here and there for the adverts. Matt has a wealth of knowledge and lots of take home nuggets! I really enjoyed this interview because Matt speaks to me and my injures right now and it's all important stuff that I nee to hear. Maybe you need to hear it too!? He is not a Body Positive warrior but he does understand Health is more important to Aesthetics and I don't think anything said in this interview would be triggering for anyone recovering from ED or Fitness Obsession. In fact quite the opposite! Have a listen and take some notes. You can contact Matt here:https://www.facebook.com/matt.lovett.79 or here: http://www.apsfitness.co.uk/

Today I just woke up early after an evening with friends and as things often play on my mind, I wanted to share my thoughts on here. Being a Fitness Professional was what led me down the diet path to destruction,and poor body image. It was also what bought me so much joy, medals and Education... But even though my job interlinks with my personal life (because if i wasn't teaching a class, i'd be going to one so i may as well get paid for it)but it is a job and it is a hat i wear. I am more than my job and i wear different hats. See what you think? Can you be less judging?

Welcome to Episode 34 this week was a LIVE radio show on 91.8 Hayes fm, so please be aware there were some ads I cut out. Everything else was left in.

In his own words.. “I am a body transformation coach that uses psychological & neurological techniques to create pain free powerful bodies” I wanted to know more. Find out how he healed himself from Mercury poisoning and what advice he has for you to become a healthier more 'superhuman' version of yourself. Christian hasn't read (yet) Health at Every Size, but promotes health over aesthetics.

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place." Many of you know now that I want to focus on other topics than Body Positivity, I believe that our Body Image is secondary to what’s really going on in life, and therefore when times are tough or an emotion unexpected, we often go back to old coping mechanisms which are, I feel fat etc, maybe I should diet etc.. maybe I should do more exercise because whilst we are thinking and feeling these things we are not feeling emotions. Emotions like, pain, grief, worry, fear.. Today I speak to Alison Hollingworth from Feel the fear and do it anyway. Which is a book written by Susan Jeffers. Susan is no longer with us but there are many still supporting her work and running their own workshops which promote the messages within the book. Alison is one of those practitioners and today we find out why we have fear, what we can do about it and some tools for getting out of our comfort zone. I hope you enjoy this podcast, and if you do can I kindly ask you to share your thoughts, by leaving me a rating and review in itunes and maybe consider supporting the podcast. I have decided to donate all patreons to the charity MIND, which I am working closely with to support and to raise awareness of mental health disorders.

Welcome to Episode 29 of the FeustelFIT Podcast where I not only speak to Rachel Foy, I discover out loud that I am like a builder in the fitness industry... all will be explained in the episode.

Today as I mourn the loss of my friend, my old negative Body Image issues arise. I feel fat, ugly, swollen, bloated...when really inside i just feel sad. My old coping mechanism popped up and as I internalized my emotions to feel like there was an issue with my body, I realized I am actually just sad. So today as I allow myself to feel. I also felt like I had lots to say on the topic of intuitive Exercise. As a fitness instructor, I love exercise and I love promoting it to people. I know all the benefits to exercise and I want to help people to make healthy choices. I am also aware that exercise has become a dangerous place for many who have shared my disorders with food and body image and the use of exercise can be damaging. I felt torn between the Body Positive community and the Fitness world for this reason. I feel like I have found a happy medium for myself and I am not leaving fitness, not for me and not for my career. Where I am is exactly where I need to be! I don't exercise to change my body I exercise to feel alive. If you are lucky enough to be alive, fit and healthy and able bodied, then use it. I am a voice of change and I am a leader in Health & Fitness and I will not change who I am to fit a Body Positive mold. I can be both a Body Positive advocate and a Fitness professional. Join me in living life to the fullest! www.feustelfit.co.uk

In this Episode we discusss Omarie's journey of suffering with Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD) to starting a 365 day campaign called #inthefaceofBDD where he shares a picture of his face everyday for a year to stand up to his disorder and to help others to become aware of it and get help too. Watch this video to understand what BDD is like for those who suffer with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNrxksPbgUg The term Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) describes a disabling preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in appearance. It can affect both men and women, and makes sufferers excessively self-conscious. They tend to check their appearance repeatedly and try to camouflage or alter the defects they see, often undergoing needless cosmetic treatments. Onlookers are frequently perplexed because they can see nothing out of the ordinary, but BDD causes devastating distress and interferes substantially with the ability to function socially.

Body image dissatisfaction is not gender biased, both men and women experience these issues. However, many men do not express their vulnerability when it comes to body image. It can be a long road to self-acceptance, but by sharing his story, Dan hopes that it encourages both men and women who are struggling with body image concerns (and any associated unhealthy behaviors) to reach out if they need support to break free from society’s pressures of conforming to BS beauty ideals. -taken from https://www.innerselfrevealed.com.au/ Dan first inspired me to speak to him as he shared a nude picture of himself with the quote.. "My body is not broken, It does not need to be fixed, It is what it is, not flawed, but characteristically me" I wanted to ask Dan about this great image and why he decided to become an Ambassador of the Body Image Movement.
