I love and trust myself quite well, and can tell when I’m being given bad advice. There is no sense in disliking or hating myself. Carly Simon sang that true loving really starts with loving oneself. You cannot love others without first loving yourself.

I haven’t really been around in awhile so all I can say is love yourself enough to take care of yourself. Your mental illness goes hand in hand with what you eat and drink. I’m not sure what form of ED you have, but I know that if you dig deep enough you can achieve anything!

Thank you, guys :slight_smile:
I will try to love myself by eating intuitively and accepting my body for what it is even if it’s not important exactly what I want it to be.

Really diet does affect your mental illness. Good luck with a nutrition plan! Exercise but not to extremes if you can helps, too. Take care of your body because it deserves it!

I always feel better after a smoothie, add whatever greens you like, berries and bananas. Especially when I’m not sure if I should eat or not…the meds do strange things to my appetite but I can always get a smoothie or shake down. Best of luck hope you feel better!

Affirmations are helping me atm, telling myself that ‘I accept myself completely’ has helped immensely. Which I try to recite as much as possible.

I think it’s good to imagine what my body is gonna look like and that helps me to accept my body the way it is now too. Not just externally but also internally in terms of reduced risk of weight related health problems

Manage your weight. Obesity is extremely serious, especially in a young person. If you’re actually good at a few things, have a work ethic, good interpersonal skills, have achieved some difficult things by your own effort, this will help. But it’s most important that you achieve weight reduction. My feeling is that bariatric surgery is usually the best answer when obesity becomes a real cosmetic problem.
