for those with a history of heightened body image dissatisfaction or an eating disorder, these postpartum changes can be extremely persistent, impacting daily functioning, how they dress, their nutritional habits, exercise routines, and how they show up for themselves and others.

Athletes aren’t the only ones affected by this issue. It also impacts individuals with a disordered relationship with their bodies who have restrictive food patterns and/or overexercise.
