Trust!
Trusting Yourself: This can often be lacking in people struggling with body image issues. You may have much good advice about loving your body and how to eat nutritiously, but you may not be able to apply it to yourself. I have heard it said, “Yes, I know this is healthy, but not for me. It may help other people be healthy, but my body doesn’t work that way. I totally can’t trust what my body would do.” If this is how you feel, it would be good to make a timeline of body trust with yourself. When did you learn that you could not trust your body? What was this based on? What will it take for you and your body to build back trust? Then work on building it back because finding positive body image and good nutrition is based on trust between you and your precious body.
Trusting Others: Do not make the mistake that you need to trust everyone. In fact, trusting everyone would not be wise. Not everyone is trustworthy. When I first got divorced, let’s just say I had a little trust issue! And when I began dating, I had high anxiety over getting hurt again. When I began dating Kevin, this is what he said, “Let me prove myself over time.” What a great strategy! Because how can you really know who to trust? You can only observe the person’s actions over time and determine whether you can place your hope and confidence in them.
