Negative body image is often regarded as the “last thing to go” in Eating Disorder Recovery, yet feeling negatively about the body is a common predictor of a relapse. Moreover, many individuals that have not endured a clinical eating disorder, struggle to feel good about their bodies.
Body image is a vital component of whole-body healing. In conjunction with a mental health provider, Dietitians are a essential resource for their clients to feel better about their bodies and what they can do.
