I chat with Isabel Foxen Duke about our thoughts on Lena Dunham's memoir Not That Kind Of Girl and Lena's relationship with food & body image and how it is portrayed in the media.
Special edition episode where Isabel Foxen Duke and I riff on the food and body section of Lena Dunham's book Not That Kind of Girl. We get into body image, food, and how women are usually portrayed in the media and how Lena Dunham's work is instrumental in shifting this.

@LenaDunham is making visible an issue that most women silently struggle with, #BodyImage."
TIPS:
-When you find yourself counting calories even when you don't want to, actively stop yourself by thinking about anything but food.
-Keep in mind that celebrities are first entertainers and role models second. While they bring attention to these deep rooted body image issues most women struggle with in silence in and that is great, they do not aim to teach they are simply sharing their often flawed experience of being products of our society.
