Binge on Self-Love

Social media gives us a voice and a platform to share our stories and our battles. It's often encouraging and inspiring seeing people who go through something similar, and if anything, it makes us feel a bit less alone in whatever we're dealing with.

But at the same time, social media can become a toxic place for our self-esteem, our perception of what being successful means, our body image, and our eating habits.

In real life, we usually compare with people we personally know, with people that are in the same age group or in our social circle, whereas on social media, we can compare with literally anybody - a stranger from the other side of the world with a completely different background, experience, values, life goals, etc. 

And what we've been comparing ourselves to in the past few years especially are edited and photoshopped bodies and faces of strangers, models, celebrities, and influencers

Today's episode is an update on my personal binge eating disorder recovery journey. Please keep in mind that everyone's journey is different, so never compare to anyone else. Nothing in life is ever perfect, and in the online world, we only get to see a fraction of the reality.

When struggling with our mental health, we often hesitate to ask for help. Maybe it's because we feel ashamed, we're afraid we will come across as weak or that people won't understand. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, if anything, it's a sign of bravery, courage, and the desire to change something for the better.

How can you support your loved one, a family member, a friend on their eating disorder recovery journey? Recovery is hard - it's challenging for both our mental health as well as our physical health. Having someone by your side who's supportive and encouraging can be very helpful.

Have you ever thought about how much we let the fear of not being perfect and of not doing things perfectly stop us from actually doing something? I have, and I've realized that I pretty much live in fear of not being perfect. In today's mini-episode, Anci talks about why perfection will always hold you back.

We live in a time period where everybody loves to share their lives. We mostly share our successes, significant milestones such as graduation, wedding, starting a family, buying a house, travelling, simply all the good things in life. But we're not always so willing to share the not-so-happy part of our lives, the daily struggles we tackle, the day-to-day reality, the time period when we don't really feel that super happy about everything. So if we only share the positive things happening in our lives, it's really easy for other people who see your content online to assume that you're just really happy all the time and that you're truly living your best life. When we're sharing just the bright side of everything, it can become very easy for other people to start comparing themselves to you, to doubt themselves, and to question whether there's something wrong with them if they're not that happy all the time, or seemingly that successful, or that strong all the time as someone they see online.

And as it often comes with comparison, we first start to question our abilities and where we're heading in life, and what we've accomplished so far, and after some time, we end up feeling so demotivated, believing we're just so behind in our life and everything.

We often dwell on the past self, on that person we once used to be. With eating disorders and disordered body image, it's often difficult to let go of that person as it was part of our identity for a long time. In today's episode, Anci talks about why it's important to let go of who we once were in order to become who we're meant to be.
