dissatisfaction is a strong risk factor for developing other mental health conditions. The possibility of experiencing depression can increase if you are overwhelmed with your body image to the point of disliking yourself. Aside from that, body image dissatisfaction will affect your perception of body weight, leading to preoccupation with weight loss ideas and potentially compromising mental well-being. Having body image dissatisfaction will result in low self-esteem. Consequently, low self-esteem, coupled with weight loss efforts, can lead one to experience depressive symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_EATING_DISORDER_BEHAVIOURS\"><\/span><strong>2.0 EATING DISORDER BEHAVIOURS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Body image is a major risk factor in developing eating disorders due to frequent dieting, unhealthy weight control behaviours and bulimic symptoms. Eating disorders pose significant risks to both psychological and physical health, with profound implications for society. Eating disorders can cause severe health outcomes, which include mild anaemia, muscle weakness, brittle hair and nails, constipation and low blood pressure. They are all detrimental to us since disordered eating revolves around unhealthy eating habits and unhealthy weight control practices.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"30_BODY_WEIGHT\"><\/span><strong>3.0 BODY WEIGHT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Body image dissatisfaction can also mitigate the risk of obesity and overweight due to its association with rigid control of body weight. For example, body dissatisfaction is related to many unhealthy weight control behaviors, such as skipping meals, self-induced vomiting, and laxative use. These behaviors can consequently cause us to have low fruit and vegetable consumption and less physical activity, especially among youngsters.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 36%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IMPROVING_BODY_IMAGE\"><\/span><strong>IMPROVING BODY IMAGE<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-tertiary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-tertiary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">If you\u2019ve been struggling with body dissatisfaction, improving your body image can be helpful to embrace your body appearance and instill <a href=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/zh\/self-love-7-ways-to-love-yourself\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-love<\/a> towards yourself. Below are some ways you can start embracing your body image:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Spend time with people who focus on positive body image. <\/li>\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Practice positive self-talk.

To tackle this root problem, journaling can be one of the alternatives that can be helpful for you to embrace yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Start your self-reflection journey with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/zh\/product\/who-journal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Soul Mechanics Journal<\/a>.

It helps you to explore deeper how you see yourself, your perception, what triggers those feelings of dissatisfaction, and how they impact your life; paving a way towards healing body dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GRATITUDE_PRACTICE\"><\/span><strong>GRATITUDE PRACTICE<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Through journaling, you can list down things that make you appreciate your body. It can also include what you are good at or strengths that do not concern your appearance. Being grateful will help you to instill self-acceptance and <a href=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/zh\/self-compassion-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-compassion<\/a> along the way.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CHALLENGE_NEGATIVE_THOUGHTS\"><\/span><strong>CHALLENGE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Whenever there are negative thoughts about your body, you can journal them down. You can challenge the thoughts, such as \u201cI look ugly\u201d, by exploring why you feel so and how true the thoughts are in reality. This helps you to gradually break free from self-limiting, unhealthy body image beliefs.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SET_POSITIVE_INTENTIONS\"><\/span><strong>SET POSITIVE INTENTIONS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Write the positive goals that you intend to achieve with your body. It helps you to have a clear body image vision to work towards rather than being harsh on your body image. These affirmations can also be repeated to enhance positive self-talk.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TRACK_PROGRESS\"><\/span><strong>TRACK PROGRESS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Take note of the moments when you felt great about your body or when you noticed improvements in how you perceive yourself. This helps to recognize your positive body image experiences and motivates you constantly by remembering your self-acceptance journey.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEEK_PROFESSIONAL_SUPPORT\"><\/span><strong>SEEK PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">At times journaling alone may not be sufficient, hence seeking therapy can also be beneficial in your body image embracing journey. Sharing your struggles with a therapist can provide valuable support and encouragement on your journey towards body acceptance. It also provides you with a safe space to share your struggles; making you feel seen with your silent struggles.<\/p><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1357\" src=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy.jpg\" alt=\"Body Image\" class=\"wp-image-4581 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy-640x452.jpg 640w, https:\/\/soulmechanicstherapy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Therapy-400x283.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><p class=\"has-small-font-size\">It is undeniable that body image concerns can be too overwhelming for one and it impacts their thoughts significantly.
