19. Why Body Comparison Happens And How to Stop the Spiral

Have you ever been mid-workout, feeling strong, energized, proud? Then you glance in the mirror, see someone with the perfect body, and your mood drops instantly? That jealousy-anger-sadness-shame spiral is more common than you think, and it isn’t proof you’re a bad person.

In this episode, Aimee unpacks why body comparison happens (hint: your brain is scanning for resources and safety), why “looking better” doesn’t solve body dissatisfaction, and how to interrupt the cycle with a simple 5-step Body Comparison Playbook.

You’ll learn how to:

• Recognize “competitive social mentality” and upward comparison
• Separate from the inner critic without trying to win beauty standards
• Repair your relationship with your body using compassion (not forced positivity)
• Replace comparison with community

Try the playbook this week and notice what changes: in your workouts, your mood, and how you feel in your own skin.
