When friend groups develop conflicting approaches to body image

My college friends and I all gained the 'freshman 15' together, but now some of us are doing extreme diets and others are trying to be body positive, and we can't hang out without someone feeling judged for their choices. We used to bond over everything, but now food and body talk has become this divisive thing that splits us into camps.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different coping strategies for shared body insecurity are fragmenting a group that once found strength in similarity.
