Does this sound familiar?
Struggling with thoughts about food and your body
If you’re caught in a constant battle with negative thoughts about food and your body, it can feel like an ongoing struggle.
Feeling guilt or shame when you eat
If you catch yourself feeling guilt or shame when you eat, it’s a sign that your relationship with food might be more complex than you realize. These emotions often stem from internal conflicts or societal pressures around what we “should” eat. Exploring and understanding your relationship with food is a crucial step toward breaking free from the grip of guilt and shame.
Criticize and obsess about your appearance and what you see in the mirror
If you frequently find yourself caught in a cycle of self-criticism and obsessive thoughts about your appearance when facing the mirror, you’re not alone. This internal dialogue can be emotionally taxing, affecting your self-esteem and overall well-being. These thoughts shape your perception of yourself. Delving into this exploration of your relationship with your appearance is a vital step toward embracing self-acceptance and fostering a positive body image.
