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.”
