Binge on Self-Love

We live in a time period where everybody loves to share their lives. We mostly share our successes, significant milestones such as graduation, wedding, starting a family, buying a house, travelling, simply all the good things in life. But we're not always so willing to share the not-so-happy part of our lives, the daily struggles we tackle, the day-to-day reality, the time period when we don't rea...

I've had a tough time accepting myself for the past ten years, especially my body, size, shape, and weight. It's been only in the past couple of years that I started working on my body image, trying to accept myself just the way I am, with no "I'll be happy when I lose this amount of weight" or "I'll feel prettier when I look like that model on the internet." But even though I've come a long way,...

When speaking of the consequences and side effects of an eating disorder, most of us probably think of weight. On the one hand, it is understandable that weight, worries about weight, and body image are tightly connected to an eating disorder.  But at the same time, an eating disorder affects so many other aspects of our lives, health, relationships, and confidence, to mention a few. In today...

With the onset of a new year, many of us tend to ruminate on things we have or have not achieved, on what we've experienced, about people we have met, places we have visited. It's the time of the year when we set new goals and resolutions. But we often believe that in order to change or start something new, we need to have everything perfectly planned out. And when we don't have everything figured...

Doing something day to day may not bring many results, but after a longer period of time, it is what makes the actual difference. You don't have to break a record every single day - you just need to show up every day and take that little step. And all though your action may not make much difference on a day to day basis, in the larger scheme of things, they are immensely powerful. In today's episo...

" Have you lost weight? You look much healthier now; you were just too skinny before. " These are just some of the comments that you might have heard or maybe even experienced yourself. For whatever reason, so many people think they're entitled to comment on other people's weight, body, and appearance. But what they don't realize is how much of a negative impact their comments can have on that per...

When it comes to putting things off, how to tell if you have issues with procreation or if you're just "being lazy"? We often tend to interchange both terms as if they're equal. And when you think about it, it's not even that surprising. Procrastination is about wanting to do something but not bringing yourself to do it for various reasons. So we, and other people as well, tend to say to ourselves...

Eating disorders and recovery are not just about weight. There is so much more that comes with being healthy, happy, and in peace with your body. Recovery is so worth it, no doubts, but it comes with things no one prepares us for. Self-doubts, body image struggles, bloating, or comparison often comes during the recovery. So it's not surprising that recovering from an eating disorder (ED) can often...

Have you ever heard of productive procrastination? I haven't until a few months back. I've been a passive procrastinator for most of my life - indulging in YouTube, TV series, and shopping sprees instead of studying, writing essays and working on my side hustle project. I've recently noticed I'm actually working on something; it just happened not to be the most important task that needed to be don...
