Are you tired of hating your body?👇🏻
Does this sound like you?
😣You feel uncomfortable in your clothes.
😣You dread when people take photos of you.
😣You worry about people looking at your body when you walk into a party.
😣You are constantly comparing your body to others.
Body image is processed in the emotion centers of your brain. You never see yourself truly objectively; it’s aways colored by your experiences, environment, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs.
As a result, your perception about your body ebbs and flows all day long, without your actual body size changing.
Therefore, in theory, do you think it’s possible to cultivate a more neutral or positive perception of your body, without the prerequisite of losing weight?
I know it’s hard to even entertain this theory, because part of your brain might be fighting against the idea of trying to have a good relationship with your body now, because you can’t accept your body now.
But let me ask you this: has trying to improve your body image by losing weight worked, long-term? Think back to a time in the past where you were in a smaller version of yourself - was it good enough? Did this solve all your body image issues? Did it last?
