This week I get REAL about a wobbly week (sickness, a shit gym session and a family hike) and dive into what to do when you look in the mirror and think, “I feel fat.”

Spoiler: that’s not a feeling - it’s a signal. Here’s how to decode it and move forward.

You’ll learn:

• Why “feeling fat” = unnamed emotions (and how to name them with the Feelings Wheel)

• Body image 101: neutrality, respect, and acceptance over toxic positivity

• Triggers to watch: sleep, stress, hormones, social media, clothes that don’t fit your season

• A practical toolkit for rough days: move your body, move your mood, journal prompts, “everything shower,” comfortable outfits that still make you feel good.

• Reframes that work: your body is an instrument, not an ornament; thoughts ≠ facts

  
  

I also go into some quick wins to try for when those days happen -

• Name it, don’t shame it (identify the real emotion)

• Do one caring action for your body.

• Curate your feed.

• Create an anchor routine.

  
  

Mini pep talk: Your body didn’t change overnight — your mood did. Zoom out. This is a season, not a verdict.
