It’s easy to romanticize the past, but we’re not meant to look the same our whole lives.
As Dr. Kwan says, that inner dialogue can be influenced by the people around us IRL as well as the ones. And if your feed is filled with influencers and celebs, in particular—who may or may not be retouching themselves with filters and Photoshop—it’s no wonder you’re feeling pressured to appear how you did 10, 20, or 30 years ago.
For example, if you notice that a certain model’s posts makes you feel like crap, don’t be afraid to hit that unfollow button . Similarly, curating a more balanced following list—filled with people of a variety of ages and sizes—can remind you that hey, beauty doesn’t have one look, and there are actually tons of fabulous people in this world who are growing and changing along with the rest of us.
These boundaries should also extend into your real life, says Dr. Daniels. She recommends evaluating the people you’re surrounded by and considering keeping your distance from friends or family members who constantly gossip about others’ bodies or make you feel bad about your own. “It’s helpful to hang with those who support you for what’s on the inside and not just the outside,” she says.
so they’re not so triggering—perhaps by changing the subject to that eye-opening podcast you’re hooked on or having a direct, honest sit-down conversation about why their critical words aren’t acceptable.It’s a lot harder to focus on the present if the waistband digging into your hips or the material clinging to your arms is a constant, uncomfortable reminder of the past. can be a powerful step toward embracing your present self, Rollin says.
Still not convinced that you can feel good about your current form? Know that you’re certainly not alone. Even if you actively work on your body image using the tips above, you might very wellwhere you relapse back into that toxic, comparison trap—which Dr. Kwan says happens to most of us. “These suggestions focus on individual behaviors, but it’s important to emphasize that cultural changes, like uplifting more diverse images, are needed to dethrone the importance of appearance.
