In Episode 10 of Season 2 of The Men's Body Image Series, Daryl Perry sits down again with James (@tacos_gets_fit) for an in-depth conversation on the emotional and mental challenges that come with body transformation. After losing 137 pounds, James discusses his ongoing battle with body dysmorphia, the “fat guy mentality,” and how wearing smaller clothes sometimes still feels uncomfortable. He emphasizes the importance of therapy, sitting in uncomfortable emotions, and the mental work that comes alongside physical changes. This episode is a deep dive into how men perceive themselves after weight loss and the critical role mental health plays in long-term self-acceptance.
