Ce n'est pas ton corps de RÊVE si réussir à le maintenir est un CAUCHEMAR - (Facetime avec ta Paulette)

·20 min·1 clip

Paulette shares a shocking quote: 'Ce n'est pas ton corps de rêve si réussir à le maintenir est un cauchemar.'

Paulette Grisoni opens her solo 'FaceTime avec ta Paulette' episode by sharing a photo of her dog Tara before recording. She introduces a quote she recently discovered: 'Ce n'est pas ton corps de rêve si réussir à le maintenir est un cauchemar.' Her friend Caro calls during recording, and they briefly discuss the quote's resonance. Paulette explains the episode will focus on unhealthy body relationships when chasing perfection. She shares a personal pattern: she loses weight in relationships but gains it when single due to emotional eating and difficulty feeling satiety alone. Currently single for two years, she describes a vicious cycle of restricting 'fun' foods like burgers, then overcompensating with larger portions of healthier foods. This has become obsessive, especially while working solo at home in August. Visiting her mother recently helped her eat more coherently and lose water weight. Paulette expands on the quote's meaning: maintaining a 'dream body' becomes a nightmare when it involves daily exercise despite fatigue, anxiety about social dining, and unrealistic body standards. She suggests imagining dying tomorrow to put food choices in perspective. Paulette recalls her teenage years when hormones caused weight fluctuations, leading to extreme diets like eating only canned lentils for three months. She now wants to find the balanced mindset she has in relationships while single. She discusses how parental attitudes shape body image, vowing to speak positively about her own body if she has daughters. Paulette reveals her father was a former obese child who made violent comments about overweight women throughout her childhood, which unconsciously affected her restaurant choices. She shares a personal complex about her cheeks, pinching them 10-20 times daily to check for weight gain, though a past boyfriend reassured her men don't notice this. Paulette concludes by criticizing 'summer body' pressure and reiterating the quote, whose author she couldn't identify.
