Why doing body image work is like cleaning out the fridge 🧼

Picture your fridge. On the bottom shelf, pushed right to the back, lies your favourite Tupperware. Inside is that leftover curry that you had two weeks ago. Or could it have been four weeks ago?

You know it’s there. You get a glimpse of it every time you open the fridge door. Every time you unload the groceries, you think “I should really clean that out. I need the space. But I reaaaally don’t want to.” And so you just avoid it. You pretend it doesn’t exist.
