Just reminding yourself every day and stuff
I get where you're coming from julia, and even as a 22 year old person, I still struggle in the same way you do about my own body image. It's tough. I try to work out because I, at the very least, want my body to be functional and stop aching and hurting so much, other than just wanting to look better.
You gotta accept the chub life yo
i felt like i was already accepting myself enough like i swing between not caring much abt it to starving myself for weeks
Keep your body strong
Keep yourself healthy
You are enough
Oof
like a month ago i was feeling just fine and wearing whatever and now i eat like 500 calories a day and i count them closely
Going through intense periods of stress leads to long periods of also not caring
You need a balance to it
I have an idea that I use, though I personally only get body issues from second hand sources aka mom
I treat my stomach as my emotional support
If your tum tum feels like it takes up space, hug it out
You can't do that if you have a flat stomach
But, if your tummy is there for you no matter what
You will always have some kinds of rolls
Your skin need the excess to an extent
True, especially if you already were fat
Cuz ya know otherwise
Ur gonna just fuckin RIP
You body will still look flab when you sit
You're gonna freeze to death with no fat layer
Its hard and stressful to not be comfortable in your own body
It is
Like you can never relax
I personally had to literally look like a skeleton to realize I liked my body with a bit of chub anyway
Always holding in some part of yourself never being able to be just Unconsciously comfortably sitting there
Yep
It takes a lot out of you mentally
i feel like i eat so little because i struggle keeping *what* i eat in check but im better at keeping the amount in check
i feel like the more i lose
To be so self conscious and aware
the more i strive to lose afterwards
Do you have a lack of appetite
like oh thats cool then i keep going
not rly
Worst part, for me, a small part still wants to go back to having a flat stomach despite me feeling like shit when I lost weight
i drink a *lot* of water to satisfy it
Uh huh
Also thats a typical facet in Eating disorders
For a lot of people its about the control aspect as well
Which would make sense considering the lack of control you have with your parents being
