I’m not a size 2 anymore - how to stop letting your size and numbers ruin your perception of yourself | Ep. 40
In episode 40 of Fun on Weekdays, I share my recent realization that the clothes I’m ordering don’t “run small”, I’m just a size or 2 bigger - and that’s okay!! I share how my body image has evolved from childhood to adulthood and how it has affected my confidence. When you’ve been the same size your whole life, it can be overwhelming, disheartening, and frustrating. But the sooner we accept that our bodies will continuously change as we age, the sooner we can appreciate our bodies as they are in this moment. I share my tips & things I’ve done to focus less on the number and more on how I feel. Hint: it’s not working out more or eating less! 💗 Join my Facebook group.This podcast is sponsored by Macy’s.
