Body Dysmorphic Disorder: 8 Ways To Treat This Disease

Set Realistic Expectations

A person with body dysmorphic disorder may constantly compare themselves to others or participate in crash dieting. Instead of trying to obtain unrealistic goals such as losing a certain amount of weight, focus on making better food choices such as eating more fruits and vegetables and less processed foods. Instead of hitting the gym for hours at a time, exercise three to five times a week by walking, bike riding or running outdoors. Over time these small goals will develop into significant results that are easier to maintain.
