This week Sami and Aleen are talking all about how diet culture often dictates (and sometimes ruins) how we experience vacations. They start with an immediate reaction to RHSLC’s Jen Shah getting arrested on fraud charges. Then they dive into a conversation about the urge to lose weight before going on vacation, as Aleen and Sami discuss upcoming travel and how they are preparing themselves mentally. They discuss the struggle to restrict what you eat and drink on vacation and the anxiety that comes along with it. They also react to some listener questions about diet and travel, which leads to a conversation about the myth of confidence when it comes to your body. If confidence is conditional on looking a certain way, does it really count as confidence at all? Finally, they respond to a question about how to not restrict yourself in anticipation of wearing a bathing suit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
