Summary
Recently I had someone ask the question: How do I stop feeling like I need to be skinny in order to find/keep a husband?
And honestly, this broke my heart, because I used to have that same exact thought, that I needed to be skinny to deemed worthy for a partner. I know many of you feel the same way, and maybe it's not for a partner, but you think you need to be skinnier for SOMEONE in your life, whether that's friends, or family, or co-workers, or your Instagram followers, or whoever it may be.
So, how do we break free from the mindset that we need to be skinnier for another person in order to be worthy, valued, and loved? That's what I want to talk about with you today.
