Positive Message of the Day
One day, you will be in a place where you do not feel personally defined by your weight.
You will eat what you want without worrying about calories, instead just based on what your body is craving. You will eat until you’re satisfied without second thought.
You’ll wear whatever you want, regardless of if society says it’s “flattering” or not. You like it, so you wear it. You’ll try on clothes in stores, too, and if what you have on is too small, you’ll go get a bigger size, and it won’t feel like the end of the world, or anything at all, really. You’ll know that clothing sizes hardly mean anything, vary from store to store, and that your comfort is the most important.
You’ll look in the mirror, and you’ll admire your appearance, or maybe not. But you’ll tolerate it. You’ll accept it. You won’t feel the need to change.
The number you see on the scale won’t define you. You’ll know that weight fluctuates throughout the day, that 70-80% of your weight is predetermined by genetics…but more importantly, that your worth is not defined by some silly number on a tiny screen.
You’ll move around the world, you’ll take up space, and you won’t be the least bit apologetic for it. You’ll love yourself, and you’ll want to join the fight against diet culture to make sure others can love themselves, too.
Now, one day might not be tomorrow, or a week from now, or even in the near future. Finding peace with yourself is a process, and a long, slow one at that. Some days are going to be better than others, and you may have many setbacks or relapses. That’s perfectly, 100% okay!
Hang in there. We’re all rooting for you. Recovery is tough, but you’re tougher.
