For whatever reason, when I share on Facebook using ShareThis, the first image that gets pulled in is my blog’s header, even though I’ve specified in my theme what image to use.

Can you take a look?

Here’s an example:

But it does it for all my blog posts.

We have checked your website, it seems that the image you have specified in the Meta tag is not as per the Facebook standards.
The Facebook Debugger is also giving the same warning –
“Provided og:image could not be downloaded or is not big enough. Please use an image that’s at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image ‘http://ericwongmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/headerimg.png’ will be used instead.”

You can check the Facebook Debugger’s warnings here –

Make the required changes and it will pick-up the proper image while sharing.
