Health issue/s addressed by tsd: Body image, self-confidence, negative self-talk

Mish Burgess speaks about: “I was very good at putting a mask on. I was great at saying I don’t care, I’m fat and happy. I’m always the first to say derogatory words to myself because then nobody else can hurt your feelings if you’ve said the things first. But I was miserable and thought I’m just destined to be a big lass. Then everything changed. I lost like 3 stones in the end. I’ve gone from size 22 to about 16. By the time I finished working with you, I’d dropped from a size 16 to 8. I printed my end picture and the very first picture that I sent to you. The one where I just looked so miserable and old. And I put them side by side on the canvas. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to bed. And I don’t want to be that woman anymore. I like this one.”
