I have battled body im...I feel each and every word. I have battled body image and food issues since I was a teenager. Mine all started when I was a ballerina (13 beautiful yet torturous years) when we were told in order to have a pas-de-deux partner we couldn't be over 100 lbs. Puberty hit and in natural form, my body size began to fluctuate. Plus, it was the 90s, so processed food was my jam. Until my early 20s, I starved myself, binged, purged - each step more drastic than the next. It never went away, but I sought refuge in running - first 5Ks/10Ks and the like, then marathons and even an ultra-marathon - because it made me feel strong and I didn't look at my body in the same way. (Rolls? Well obviously, I just ran 20 miles and have 3,000 calories to demolish!) Then came the moves, the divorce the mental health issues and substantial loss of many of my friends. Food and the control over my body seemed to be the ONLY thing I had any control over. Now in my mid-30s, I still stare at the mirror in disgust. I question my fiance each and every time he gets those 'come hither eyes' as I'm stepping out of the shower and what in the world he sees that I just don't. It's always an incredibly tough topic of conversation, because I am constantly denied my feelings with 'you're a size 4.. how can you have body image issues?' But as you beautifully noted, it's a real thing my friend, for folks of all shapes and sizes. I'm going to walk this Love my Body Project with you and see how it can help!Stephanie Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256523831132269271noreply@blogger.com
