In today's society, there is a specific body type that you must fit in order to be deemed acceptable and adequate in the eyes of others. Anything that deviates from that, whether skinnier or more heavy, renders the person highly susceptible to judgment and unwarranted criticism. So many women in the world today are striving to conform to a body image that is not actually attainable for most people and oftentimes go to extreme measures in their eating and exercise routines to try to change themselves. Body Dysmorphia is a mental condition in which the said individual is so unhappy with their body and so consumed by their body insecurities that they become obsessed with "fixing" it or hiding it. They feel so uncomfortable in their own skin and are overly conscious of themselves in social settings. As we see in the skyrocket of people getting plastic surgeries, it's obvious that this is something that is critical and needs to be addressed now. I struggled with my own body image for so long and have recently overcome it this year. I've been skinny all of my life and many people have chosen to express their contempt and disdain toward how I look; overtime, this has caused me to have eating disorders where I would force myself to try to eat more of certain foods just to gain weight. This can become unhealthy and detrimental to both our mental, physical, and emotional health. Tune in to hear my story and the lessons I've learned in my healing journey as it pertains to overcoming eating disorders that result from body dysmorphia.
