positive & neutral recovery affirmations for summer
Hi, loves! I hope you're all doing well! Here are some affirmations for those of you that are going into summer!!
I included the last one for both in case there are those of you that just read one section. I wanted everyone to see it :)
You're all baddies!! Have a great summer and enjoy yourselves! ♡
Positive:
I don't need to get/have a "summer body", mine is perfect the way it is
I look good in summer clothes because my body is beautiful the way it is
I don't need to "fit into" the outfits I want to wear. I can wear (and rock) them as I am.
I look good in shorts/tank tops/skirts/dresses/short sleeves.
It's okay to feel beautiful/handsome/attractive
I can trust myself to nourish my body
I will nourish my body, despite the shorter clothes
I look good in a swimsuit
I can enjoy the fact that I like the way I look
Other people's beauty does not take away my own
I can be confident
I deserve to be confident
The people around me not eating does not mean I'm not allowed to eat. I can feed my body.
I will enjoy food this summer, despite the clothes/swimsuits
I am happier without my ed
My recovery body is a beautiful body
I am content with my recovery body
Having ed thoughts does not mean my recovery is weak. I can overcome them.
Engaging in ed behaviors will not make me any more confident, they'll only worsen my mental health and body image.
Eating more than someone else is okay, and I deserve to fuel my body.
Other people commenting negatively on my recovery/body/food intake is their issue, not mine.
Neutral:
I do not need to lose weight to get/have a "summer body"
Just because the people I see online/in person have a specific body type, it does not mean I have to have that body type.
Since it's summer (or almost), I now have a "summer body"
The shorts/skirts/dresses/short sleeves/tank tops are meant to fit me, I am not meant to fit into them
Despite the warm weather and shorter clothes, I still need to nourish my body
I do not need to engage in ed behaviors to "look good" in summer clothes (because you already do ♡)
I deserve to wear the clothes I want to wear
I deserve to feel good/content in the clothes I want to wear
If I can't feel good or content in those outfits, that's okay. My recovery is not weaker because of it.
If I can't be happy with what I see in the mirror yet, that's okay. (you will get there)
If I put a swimsuit on, I now have a "swimsuit body"
It's okay if I am not ready to wear a swimsuit
It's okay if I *am* ready to wear a swimsuit
Having ed thoughts during this time is not a failure
I can ask for help if I need it
I am allowed to ask for help if I need it
I am allowed to enjoy food even if the clothes are more revealing
I can enjoy food even if the clothes are more revealing
Eating more than someone else is not a bad thing
Eating something when others are not, is okay.
Other people commenting negatively on my recovery/body/food intake is their issue, not mine.
