Today body image is a struggle. I’m brainstorming some ways to manage that besides trying to lose weight.
- Choose clothes that I feel comfortable wearing
- Talk to people who appreciate me.
- Think: wishing I were a few pounds lighter is NOT as terrible as being in the horror of an eating disorder
- Not let unhappiness with my size bleed into dissatisfaction with other aspects of myself. If it’s just about weight, lay down a boundary and keep it about weight. (If I find myself unhappy about other things about myself that were not an issue a few pounds ago, that’s a problem.)
What do you do to manage body image on particularly hard days?
