Right.

It's just saying you're a human being that's struggling with this.

How can you not?

It's it's especially for me, like as a child of the 80s and 90s, like diet culture was like we were bred that way.

I mean, like we grew up with our moms being like fat free.

And, you know, every magazine cover was how to lose 20 pounds or whatever, how to look hot for him.

And so like, how can we not consciously feel self-conscious?

And it's something that I check in with myself all the time about, even though I haven't had an eating disorder in a very long time, like being somebody who just turned 45, like I'm dealing with aging and my face changing and my body changing.

And I like constantly have to check in.

And the big thing for me is just not

keeping it inside because anytime I sort of allow myself to think for too long, it's just it never goes well.

So saying it out loud, whether it's to a friend or even my husband, just being like, I'm feeling this way about myself.

I don't even need you to like come back with like, no, you look great or you're wonderful.

It's just like, just hear me.

Just let me sort of get this out because I think anytime you can say something, it has a little bit less power over you.

Oh, my God.

Yes.

And it's it's so funny because it's not even what I thought was going to be on the other side of it.

It was more of like, what are people going to think of me?

And instead it was like, oh, my God, let me hug you.
