Your Eating Disorder Won’t Fix Your Bad Body Image: The Truth About Body Image and How to Cope

In this episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest myths in eating disorder recovery: the belief that your body image will improve once your body changes.So many people believe that losing weight, changing their shape, eating less, exercising more, or achieving a certain look will finally make them feel confident and comfortable in themselves. The reality is that eating disorders often make body image worse, not better.I explore why body image struggles persist regardless of body size, how eating disorders distort the way we see ourselves, and why chasing the "perfect" body never creates lasting peace. I also share practical strategies for coping with bad body image days, reducing body checking, challenging appearance-focused thinking, and building self-worth beyond how you look.If you're tired of waiting to feel good enough, this episode will help you understand why recovery isn't about fixing your body. It's about healing your relationship with it. Let me know your thoughts!
