No Dumb Questions with Mel

Episode 10: My Journey with my Body Image Pt. 1


Listen Later

I've been avoiding this topic for 2 years now. My relationship with my body image is something I try to protect, because it's one that has brought me a lot of pain. There was a time that I blamed my body for my unhappiness and the demon of comparison was a very large figure that took over. It's a relationship that I'd consider a "work in progress" despite being in a better mental place.

After getting to a place of contentment, I wanted to share my journey with my body image. This journey is one I never thought I'd go through and one I'm still nervous to share for many reasons. I feel like when people think of "body image issues", it looks a certain way to them. However, I learned that it's a spectrum and to not discredit any of these unsettling feelings. Everybody is different and everyone has their own relationship with their physical self.

If you choose to listen to this episode, I hope you listen with an open heart and mind. Hopefully, this episode connects with some of you. 


*Content Warning: There will be talk about weight gain, nutrition, and body image.
