Remember Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and The City" and the way she shopped? The desire to "be perfect" is the problem of many people nowadays, but there is a dark side that hides behind the search for the perfect size in our clothes.
Dress numbers are closely related to stereotypes of beauty standards and diets that drive society to the point where they encourage and activate serious psychological problems with self-image, self-confidence or nutrition. In this conclusion, experts agree, such as Ana Morales and María Ramírez, psychologists and experts on the connection between food and emotions.
Going shopping and not finding your size or trying on a new size is very common, primarily because brands have different ways of determining them, but also for other reasons. This detail is not always taken into account if you are a person very obsessed with details.
"With the desire to fit in, the risk of mental health problems and diseases such as bulimia or anorexia increases," declares María Ramírez.
Tips for managing such situations start from:
Set yourself new goals and distract yourself from the numbers
Cultivate self-love, every day
Take care of yourself every day with a set routine
Celebrate every achievement, no matter how small
Disconnect yourself from digital devices
Practice gratitude.
