Body image is something that I have struggled with for as long as I can remember, and hold a lot of shame around. I felt extremely lonely, as I didn't think any other men went through it. For whatever reason it seems to be that we are told it's not something that men should struggle with, or even acknowledge.
I still remember the moment Andy shared that he also struggles with body image issues at a King's of Hearts event. The weight that was lifted off of my shoulders was enormous, finally the feelings of loneliness started to go away. As I've been a part of more of these types of conversations, it has amazed me at how many people go through this alone. This is the reason why I wanted to have the conversation, and hopefully with more conversations like this, it will become a topic that we all pay more attention to.
