โi know it feels like you're alone in this, but you're not. i've been where you are, hating my body, feeling like a fraud. the first step is telling someone, even if it's just one person. for me, it was my partner and then a dietitian. it's not easy, and some days are still crap, but it does get better. be patient with yourself. you deserve to be happy.โ
โi was sure I'd never feel normal again. i was wrong. what helped me was writing everything down before appointments, otherwise i forget it all. keep going, even slowly.โ
โTo anyone starting out with body image and self-worth stuff: I know it feels impossible right now. I used to avoid mirrors and skip social events. What helped me was small things, like writing down one thing I liked about myself each day, and finding a therapist who got it. It's not linear progress. Some days I still feel like crap. But it does get easier. You don't have to believe it yet. Just keep going.โ
โfor anyone starting with the mirror stuff: it starts with one comment and then it lives in your head rent free, which is rude. what helped me was noticing how much time I gave to strangers on Instagram and how little to Clive or Kemar or my own lunch. I am not fixed, not even close. But I stopped weighing myself before work. small. do one small thing that is yours and not about how you look, even if it is just eating the chicken with the skin on.โ
