Episode 46: 12 Tips to Improving Your Body Image

Let’s face it.

Most Pear-Shaped Women have poor body images.

It's a sad fact, but a fact nonetheless. We tend to beat ourselves up every time we gain a few pounds on our hips, go on crash diets and then cheat on them, binge eating and drinking, ultimately harming our bodies even more. The long-term effects of this poor body image, typically developed during our teenage years, can create a life full of self-loathing and unfulfilled potential.

There is good news though! We can relearn a healthier, more accurate view of ourselves by challenging any distortions we learned in our early years. This is a lifelong process and can be started by learning to accept and love ourselves ultimately changing how we think, feel and react to our Pear-Shaped Bodies and curves.
