You still need to eat

Your body image might be terrible. The bottom of a trashcan kind of terrible.

You still need to eat.

Regularly.
Adequately.
Consistently.
Forever.


The fact that body image is actually a processing in your brain issue and not an actual body issue means that attempting to change your body will not address the root cause.

Have compassion.
Be gentle.
Experiment with speaking kindly to your body, even if you do not feel comfortable in it.
Especially if you don’t feel comfortable in it.
