The messy middle is that stage where you’ve done a lot of the physical healing: eating well, letting go of restrictive behaviours, becoming more flexible.
And now… 🥁 the actual body image healing can begin!
The inner work can look like:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Regulating your emotions healthily
✅ Exploring your needs, interests, and desires
✅ Building self-trust
✅ Expanding your sense of identity beyond your body and physical appearance
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not about loving your body 100% of the time.

Now, it’s about learning how to stay with yourself through the hard moments, build yourself up when you feel down, and take steps toward feeling at ease in your body and your life.
That’s what confidence really is.
