Kindness is a Requirement

This is the hard part. Or one of them.

Moving away from diet/disorder/body preoccupation is hard work. And work that won’t be likely congratulated or appreciated or largely understood by the humans around you.

Trust that congruence is possible. And acknowledge that congruence means actively challenging the messages that have gotten you to right now. Not impossible, but certainly not simple.

Please be gentle with yourself in this process. Kindness is a requirement.
