Welcome back loves! This episode was a special one, for Matilda went to university with Tori and they had such a lovely catchup about their work, uni, and their experiences with eating disorders and body image issues. Thank you so much to Victoria for sharing her stories with us.

Advice from an Eating Disorder Nutritionist Victoria Dunn:

Speak Out – there is power in sharing your struggles and personal experiences. You may be amazed at how many other women have felt this way but did not disclose it. Do not internalise how you are feeling.
Fresh Air – sounds simple but it really does wonders. Get outside within fresh air each day, this is an amazing tool to take your mind off your physical body and into your physical surroundings.
Social Media Detox – what accounts do you follow? Everyone’s pregnancy journey is going to look different, so if someone is posting images that you find you are comparing yourself too, simply unfollow or mute their content, so you do not receive body image ideal messages, even if unintentional.
Wardrobe Clean – remove and pack away all your old clothes which do not fit you now or that will not fit you during pregnancy. Pack it away and re-visit this when you are ready postpartum (but that is another story… our bodies are obviously going to be beautifully different after birth). Purchase clothes that are forgiving sizes and cuts that allow you to grow and develop naturally.
Natural Materials – think stretchy bamboo and organic cotton. These materials naturally move and stretch with the female form and are not ridged and therefore are comfortable. Feeling uncomfortable in your clothes can translate to feeling uncomfortable in your body. I did not buy anything from maternity brands, rather I just bought bigger sizes and natural materials of things which would adapt with my changing body.
Remove Triggers – cut away the clothing tag which says the size of the garment if this is a trigger for you, ask your friends/relatives to not comment on your changing body even if it is intended to be positive, ask your GP/Doctor/Midwife not to weigh you at your appointments (or if it is necessary to do so, ask to not know the number on the scales).
Avoid Body Checking – this is where we catch ourselves looking into the mirror at our bodies and thinking negative thoughts. Avoid spending too long in front of mirrors and practice appreciating your body for everything that it does for you… including growing a human during this stage of pregnancy! Women are amazing.
Care For Your Inner Health – how we feel on the instead absolutely resonates to how we feel and what we reflect on the outside. The health of our gut and hormones can, and do, have a profound impact on our mental health (which I know from personal experience and see so frequently within my clients)! Eat foods that make you happy, using whole ingredients from food in its most natural state. Eat a variety of colour in your diet, as different colours literally mean you are getting different vitamins and nutrients.
