EP 54: How to Cope With “Beach Body” Triggers & Appreciate the Skin You Are in This Summer

It's the first Monday of July, & you know what that means....SUMMER!

Summer can be the BEST time & also one of the most triggering when you are in recovery from disordered eating. Diet culture screams weight loss plans, beach bods & fitspiration. July 4th brings fireworks, events with family....& FOOD. 

The truth is... summer can be super triggering! With less clothing & the fear of what other people may think of you...it's legit hard.

According to researchers, 90% of women are disappointed with their bodies (especially in the summertime!) Isn't that stat insane?

If you are there right now, give yourself grace sister. I see you. I spent so many summer's fueled by coffee & the desire of perfection. I spent so many summer's STARVING & miserable. I spent so many summer's completely obsessed with my body & counting every single morsel of food that entered my mouth. 

It was exhausting. Until I decided enough was enough.

Girl, your summer body is the body that you have right now! Can you appreciate it? You don't have to LOVE your body, but you can nourish it & respect it. 

Your body is the vessel of how you experience life.

What can you do this summer day to appreciate it?

In today's episode, I share 6 coping strategies that you can turn to instead of restriction, overexercise & all the unhealthy behaviors keeping you chained to disordered eating.

I hope you enjoy this one friend. If so, would you share it with someone you love that you think would benefit?

Thanks girl! Talk to you soon :)
