People often feel a pressure to look a certain way to have a “bikini body” or “summer body,” said Ally Duvall, senior program development lead at Equip, an online center for eating disorder treatment.
Duvall shares how to leave the body image issues at home when packing for your summer getaway.
Ally Duvall said the shame that comes with not meeting body image expectations for the summer can be tied with eating disorders.
Trying to have our body look a certain way is not something that a majority of people can do safely.
It makes sense that when we are faced with summer, we feel a lot of apprehension, or we are hyperfixating on how our body looks.
