โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. Lean on whoever offers, even if it's awkward. People want to help. Go slowly.โ
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
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
โDear stranger, i was in the same place in 2022. Back then it was the gym changing room. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart.โ
