If you’re working on body acceptance, it’s likely you’ll find January an uncomfortable time.

It doesn’t matter where you are, or where you look, diet culture is all around!

If there’s one thing you can be sure of (other than death and taxes), it’s that when January comes around, the diet industry will be on overdrive.

Let’s face it, January IS Christmas to the diet industry.

And it’s not just the industry you have to put up with, but the culture that has evolved around diets.

As a result, it’s pretty difficult to avoid diet talk in January, whether it’s face to face or on-line.

But if you’re someone who wants to move past dieting and work towards body acceptance, all that diet noise can really grate on you!
