Summary

Body image isn't always self-hatred. Sometimes it's just constantly being aware of your body. In this episode, I share my experience with body image from ballet classes and dieting in middle school to gaining weight in college, losing it after graduation, and learning how to stop fighting myself every day. We talk about comparison, food noise, body neutrality, and why taking care of your body feels very different than trying to punish it. This isn't an episode about weight loss. It's an episode about making peace with yourself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
