Such a powerful post, Faye. I’m struggling a lot with body image recently, having lost a lot of weight and then putting a lot of that weight back on. The feelings it’s brought up are so uncomfortable to deal with. The guilt, the shame, the feeling stuck. Ughhh, just feels icky. I don’t really know how to accept my body right now when I’m just so uncomfortable in it. Anything you can share would be wonderful. Thank you for all you do. πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’›βœ¨

thank you so much for sharing Sabah. i’m very familiar with the experience. i’m going to brainstorm deeper and i’ll write a post on more practical ways i’ve navigated the layers of body image stuff.
