It is difficult to talk about food without talking about body image. The two are intertwined. 

For many of you, it was your body's appearance that started the dieting, restricting, and binge eating. It was the internalized messages from a culture that wants to control women's bodies that shaped how you interacted with food. 

And for many, you may create a stabilizing relationship with food and the body image worries may continue because food was helping to cover up the lack of safety to live in your body. 

So today, we're going to read some body image Reddit Stories to support you in how you may somatically navigate body image concerns when they arise. 

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: 

• How nervous system states shape your perception of your body
• Body image concerns can be an attempt at trauma resolution 
• Explorations on the somatic meaning of body image struggles 
• Grief over previous expressions of the body 
• The sensory integration that needs to occur to experience the body differently

With Compassion and Empathy,
