684: Body Image Advice That Didn't Help Me

Hey hey beautiful human!

Some body image advice sounds really good until you are the one standing in front of the mirror trying to believe it.

"Just love your body."

"Say positive things to yourself."

"Focus on the parts you like."

And listen, I know most of that advice is meant to help. But when I was really struggling with how I felt in my body, some of it did not make me feel better. Some of it made me feel like I was failing at body confidence too.

And that is such a frustrating place to be.

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we are talking about the body image advice that did not help me, why it felt so hard to actually use, and what started to make a difference when forcing myself into body love did not feel honest yet.

My hope is that this episode gives you a more realistic place to start if body positivity feels too far away right now.

What's Discussed:

Why "just love your body" is not always helpful when you are struggling

What to do when positive affirmations feel fake
