Reflection – Body Image Coaching

"If you only ever look for flaws, you’ll never see yourself clearly."

This isn’t about wanting to lose 5kg before a wedding. It’s the years of avoiding photos, hiding in oversized clothes, skipping events because you “don’t feel good,” and looking at other women thinking, “If I looked like that, I’d be confident.”
The problem is — that confidence doesn’t magically appear at a certain weight or dress size. It’s about the way you see yourself now.

Signs your body image is running your life:
☐ You avoid being in photos — especially with your kids
☐ You turn down invitations to events, beaches, or pool days
☐ You change outfits multiple times before leaving the house
☐ You constantly compare your body to others and come up short
☐ You keep “goal clothes” in the wardrobe as motivation/punishment
☐ You judge your worth based on a number on a scale
☐ You avoid intimacy because you’re self-conscious about your body
☐ You feel like your body is a problem to solve, not a home to live in

On the flip side:

• You can walk into a room without checking who’s looking at you

• You get in the damn photo and keep it

• You wear clothes you actually like instead of just what’s “flattering”

Client stories:

• Sharon hadn’t been in a photo for three years. Within weeks, she sent me a beach photo in a bright swimsuit, smiling with her kids. “I can’t believe I hid for so long.”

• Anita, a business owner, went from dreading networking events to walking in without that “everyone’s looking at me” panic. “I finally feel like I belong in my own skin.”
