This week, we’ll apply the theme of BELONGING to our body image work.
Oof. Belonging.
The feeling that we don’t belong is what’s at the crux of our deepest wounds - whether related to body image, food, or anything else.
As children, belonging is about a sense of unconditional acceptance from the people we grow up with, usually our biological family. Some people are lucky to feel like they truly belong, and that they are truly safe with their family of origin. However, we know that’s not true for most of us. If you learned fatphobia and food restriction from your family, remember that deep down you associate these behaviors with both what “love looks like” and the fear that if you don’t do these behaviors that you will be deeply rejected by people who are responsible for your survival.
