Body image issues – resources

This time at home with no access to gyms and no routine and the feeling of food insecurity can feel frightening to a lot of people with a history of food and body image issues. Obviously this is no replacement for therapy, but if you’re feeling anxious, these are some great resources.
A lot of folks in that space on Instagram are also providing advice on how to get through this particularly difficult time.
