thx Ben for being as open as you are🙏🏻 especially as a man, i guess many men arent able to talk about negative body stories

[@EmmaHennahane]

Ben you are so on the money with societal norms- thank you! The amount of people who call us weird or freaks for working out on holiday and they're there poisoning their bodies every day 🤷🏼‍♀️
You guys are so on our wavelength 🙌

[@AS-ur5gl]

Sadly I relate so much to this, eating disorder , body dysmorphia and exercise addiction. Hopefully one day I can get to a better place.

[@dustyhayes9569]

This episode couldn’t have come at a better time. I absolutely hate how I look at I know my views are not 100% based in reality. Thank you for this

[@Sarah-jt5xy]

I needed to hear a lot of this thank you

[@donnamelling6518]

Thank you for this, it has really hit home and made me reassess 🙌🏻

[@anastefani7954]

Bodybuilding definitely ruined my self image especially the post reverse process seeing yourself becoming softer as ur gaining weight and recovering is soo hard mentally cause u become so used to seeing yourself soo lean and shredded

[@flightlessbird9509]

Thank you for talking about this I suffer with this and I have been trying to get over it for a long time i am 5’3 120lbs but in my head im not. It has helped me to follow workout programs so I don’t over work out.

[@PrettyLittlePlantBased]

Girl I totally get it! I am 5’4 125. But sometimes I totally see myself differently. I’m just trying to enjoy the body I have and find balance in all things. You are beautiful! ❤

[@marcellakeeble327]

This is a brilliant episode.
I think we all hold demons inside which will be triggered over different periods of our lives. I think aspirations can easily turn in to something else really quickly but it's important to talk. Friend, family etc. Let them know how your feeling.
Thank you to all three of you for being open, honest and vulnerable for everyone else.
Xx
