Hello
I have also struggled with body image but I notice that it ‘flares up’ when I am depressed or going through a hard time.
So I wonder if there is something in life that is making you unhappy at the moment.
As women we feel so much pressure to be perfect but there’s no such thing as perfect.
We are flooded with images of models and airbrushed beauty but that’s not the norm !
You only have to look around in the changing room to see that women’s bodies come in all shapes and sizes.
What helped me alot is exercise and yoga.
When I get the flood of feel good chemicals after exercising I appreciate my body more, and not only that I am grateful for what it can do!
I can’t change my body but I can change the way I feel about it and what I do with it. Maybe try feeling good inside your body through exercise like swimming, going for a massage, or pampering yourself.
hope that helps
