Disordered Eating and Body Image
You obsessively compare your body to others and judge yourself based on the appearance, size, and shape of your body.
You feel disconnected from yourself and struggle to listen to internal cues about what you and your body need.
It takes everything you have to hide the exhaustion of the nonstop negative thoughts and criticisms going on in your head related to food, body, and self.
Is any of this sounding familiar? You might fluctuate from feeling like you are just so on top of it all, to spiraling into fears of losing all control over your life. It can feel like an impossible task trying to meet society’s beauty standards, but all you want is to be loved, accepted, and desired. You want something different, but you don’t know how or where to start; it all feels very overwhelming and scary.
EATING DISORDERS CAN MAKE YOU THINK THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE, BUT YOU CAN DISCOVER FREEDOM & ENJOYMENT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD, BODY, AND MOVEMENT.
