What do you do when your body doesn’t feel like your own? Sarah Herman of Starving to Strong has known this feeling all too well over the past years of battling ulcerative colitis and an eating disorder. In this episode we dive into how her eating disorder has played a role in her ulcerative colitis journey (and vice versa), how to battle bad body image days and ways to support your body and the inevitable IBD bloat. Follow Sarah’s journey on Instagram at @starving_to_strong and at https://www.starvingtostrong.com Key quotes from this week’s episode: “It’s something you have, it’s not something you are" “See it as ‘this is part of me, but it doesn’t have to be all of me’” “It’s a lot of reminding yourself that this body image is not permanent, it changes. your body image is an image - it’s just something you see. It’s not permanent.”
