episode 127: what does a body confidence before and after photo look like?
On episode 127 of The Diet Diaries I’m diving into the controversial topic of before and after photos and the invisible transformation of improving body confidence and negative body image.
We live in a world of before and after photos—as if that photo tells you every thing about what’s going on with that person. But I have countless photos of myself where I look happy and in a smaller body but was obsessed with food and dieting. So is that really the result we’re after?
