Sarah’s book I Can’t Stop Eating is available on Amazon
This conversation discusses the challenges of confronting the aging process, with Sarah sharing a recent moment of seeing photographs of herself and thinking she looked...well, older. This introspection is mirrored by a conversation about Stef's Wednesday Weekly email, which talked about the "emergency" feeling of noticing differences in sagging skin and redistribution of body proportions approaching middle age.
As the conversation unfolds, it touches upon a broader philosophical reflection on aging, not just as a physical process but as an emotional and existential journey.
We contemplate the societal and personal implications of aging, from the fear of invisibility and loss of value in a youth-centric culture to the liberating aspects of growing older, such as gaining freedom.
We talk about the complexity of body image issues, drawing parallels between the struggles with weight and the acceptance of aging.
I’m 66 - it’s a great place to be. I don’t think aging is like body image at all - aging is a gift many people don’t get to open. And not giving a **** about what others think,of you is endlessly empowering.❤❤
I’m 68. I have had disordered eating since 1970. 54 YEARS! It has taken until now to really deal with the narcissism and abuse I experienced for most of my life. Now, I feel better about myself than I ever have. I’m intellectually sharper and don’t suffer the idiots anymore. Physically, I had 4 vertebrae fused 4 years ago so physically I’m not great but I know people much younger than I am who have worse problems.
I would ask you to look at the Trump women. They all look like plastic Barbie dolls. Then, look at older French women. They wear their wrinkles as a badge of honor. They are still beautiful.
You ladies are lucky because you are awake and aware at a young(yes) age. You have a long, wonderful life to live.
I'm 60 now and I value that I have survived life this far despite suffering with eating disorders all my life, and now being on chemo for all my physical disorders. Life is a gift, and I want to be as "present" (word play ha) as I can be on any given day. I now accept (mostly) that I'm no longer 21, and that 's fine with me. I am trying to be the best me I can be now, in this 60 year old body, despite the doctors saying "You'll not make old bones..." ha.
It’s complicated. The invisibility isn’t just as a sex object or object of “beauty “. It’s total invisibility; I can walk down the sidewalk and anyone under fifty will basically walk right into me. I’m expected to cede my share of the room. My friends who are women all experience this-men not so much. It’s easy for my brain to then think that if I were thin, I would be seen. If I were thin, I would “exist “ even though I’m sixty four.
Have you noticed how for middle aged people and older if they rapidly lose a lot of weight, through illness or otherwise, the impression is that they look so much older. Shockingly so sometimes. On the flip side, older people with weight on look younger. Especially around the face. Weight loss as we age is in fact ageing. Ha!
Yes! I was told it’s the face or the figure. I am 63 and balancing both. I have good genes but It all goes back to the garden of Eden. “You shall surely die” because of disobedience to God. But God provides eternal life for those who choose to repent and accept His way of salvation through Jesus. We will be given renew bodies of perfection to live in God’s presence. No fear here-another day closer to eternal life. ♥️
Hello!!! I need this exact podcast right now! I'm on the brink of menopause, my highest weight ever, and my joints are bad and I know it is due to my weight. But the mere thought of "I'll eat well today" immediately leads to food obsession. 😢
Hello my friends!! 😊
