Well, I'm getting a little better about encouraging myself and not having such a hard time with body image. It's definitely a process!

Body image is, unfortunately the last thing to go with an eating disorder.
One thing that I find that helps is putting self-affirmation notes on mirrors around the house.
If you're ever having trouble, give it a try.

Exactly.. I feel it may never truly go away but as long as I can enjoy what I eat, which I can now, then I've made some good progress.

Self affirmation, man that was a key part to my recovery from anorexia, and the traumas of my past.. they had me write 10 affirmations every single day.. it was so incredibly hard at first, but then the more I did it, the better I felt until I was finally able to accept the person I was.

Thank you again for all your support and encouragement.

That's more than just good progress, being able to enjoy food again is a huge deal, not to mention takes amazing perseverance!

And self affirmation is incredibly hard, right now I'm just sort of in the "fake it 'till you make it" mode. I figure if I just keep saying it, it'll seep in eventually. But I'm so glad to hear you've made it to a point of self-acceptance, you're so strong to have been able to do that!

Thank you so much, and definitely the fake it til you make it strategy was the same approach I had to take. It really does work if you keep at it!! I'm so glad to hear we can relate with that one.

Another thing that works for me is writing on boy parts with eyeliner and saying one thing I like about it. I started off with one, and now I'm trying to do four each day. You might want to try it if you're ever struggling!
