## Resource

Have you ever convinced yourself that being five pounds smaller would fix your entire life? Same. This one’s about body dysmorphia, disordered eating tendencies, almond homes, and the illusion that control lives in a smaller body. It’s honest. It’s uncomfortable. And I don’t have it figured out (no different than any other episode). Don't Think!
