“Where do I even start with helping body image??”

This is just a quick PSA to say that improving your body image is possible.

(even when it feels like it isn’t)

It is not easy.

It takes undoing harmful beliefs and learning new tools.

It means realignment from needing to like how your body looks to knowing your body IS good.

It takes practice. Sooo much practice.

You don’t have to know everything to start. Here are some low-hanging fruit ideas to get you going:

• Listen to fat-positive podcasts (like Dietitians Unplugged!).
• Read fat-positive books about body image.
• Follow anti-diet and fat-positive social media accounts (there are sooo many).

If I were to pick one resource that would be super helpful right now, I’d say this podcast we did with Kristina Bruce about challenging unhelpful beliefs is at the top of the list.

I also recently created a guide with some simple practices that can help get you on your way: 6 Quick Strategies to Improve Your Body Image Now.

With practice and a ton of self-compassion, body image healing is possible.
