Does it bum you out that even I still can have picture grief?
That’s what one of my favorite body grievers® told me this week.
“if you’re still struggling, what hope do the rest of us have?”
But I think my body grief should give you hope—hope that healing is possible. But even more so, body grief gives us amazing insight.
Let me give you an example:
In this photo – I was taken aback by how large I look here.
I was so accutely aware of
How cute I thought I looked going to the event with the stark contrast of how I saw myself in this photo
The sting of being the fattest of my fat friends
Feeling bummed that even I still get stuck in this body image bullshit [narrative on loop: you should know better].
