So many of us have spent years believing we're too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too needy. Too loud. Or maybe we've believed we need to make ourselves smaller (physically or emotionally) to finally deserve love, acceptance, and belonging. In this conversation, author and founder of Date Brazen, Lily Womble, shares how those beliefs shaped her body image, relationships, and self-worth after years of dieting and questioning whether she was enough. Together, we explore why your body isn't what stands between you and love, how the weight loss fantasy keeps us stuck, and what it looks like to stop shrinking yourself and trust that you are already enough.✅ What You'll Learn:Why believing you're "too much" can affect your body image, confidence, and relationship with foodHow internalized messages about worth shape the way we show up in our relationshipsWhat the "weight loss fantasy" is and why it keeps so many women stuckHow body neutrality can help you build a healthier relationship with yourselfPractical ways to build self-compassion and become more resilient in the face of rejectionWhy you don't have to change your body to be worthy of love, belonging, or a fulfilling life🔗 Resources:Lily's book: Thank You, More PleaseDate BrazenGrab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don’t have to feel 100% ready to get support.
