Body insecurity in relationships is a tricky topic. But an important one.
Nowadays, I truly love my body. But that wasn’t always the case. I used to hate my body. I never felt good enough. I would compare my body constantly.
I met my husband at my heaviest weight. And he loved me (and my body), even when I didn’t. He told me that I was worthy just as I was, without needing to lose weight.
As anyone with body insecurities would know, this meant so much to me. My husband played a big role in helping me love my body. And I’ll always be so grateful to him.
Did he google “how to help my wife with body confidence”? Who knows. What matters is, that it worked. And in this episode, I'll be sharing what you can do to help your partner love their body. Or at least accept it.
