The version of your future self you've been working toward might not actually be yours. Here's how socialization hijacks the vision, and what to do instead.
A few weeks ago, a Facebook memory landed in my feed.
It was a post from 2017. A photo of me, shoulder up. Smiling. Professional. Controlled.
I remembered exactly why I framed it that way.
I was at the start of my intuitive eating journey, and my body had been regaining the weight I had lost from my very last diet. I was convinced that if anyone saw my "full view" body, they would never hire me as a health professional. So I invested in a professional background decor, an extended tripod and a new camera, all engineered so the angle never dropped below my shoulders. I was building an online presence and hiding a body at the same time.
