A Daily Body-Positivity Mantra
Every night, look in a mirror and say this or something similar. It can help if you’re struggling with body positivity.
This is my body. It is not perfect, but it is mine. It is the vessel through which I move and act in the world.
My body can do wonderful things like [name 3 things you can do]. [If you have a disability or chronic illness, add: “It has adapted to life with (condition).”]
[People with gender dysphoria: “It does not match my gender, but my gender is still real. In time, it will change to look more like the person I am inside.”]
Over time, my body will change. I will gain weight, and lose it. I will age. I will be in good health and bad. But this is what my body looks like right now.
I accept that this is how my body looks today. It may look different tomorrow, but I am not there yet. I am here, in today, with my body. This is who I am at this point in my journey.
This is my body, and it is mine.
Mind completely blown.
“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.”

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Isn’t it super fucking embarrassing to have an eating disorder and constantly see these skinny beautiful girls, but to look at yourself and be overweight? Doesn’t it make you suicidal? It does to me. I hate myself, but not like, “oh I’m so ugly aha”, I mean full-on disgusted by my body. Legitimately suicidal because of how I look.
does anyone know the struggle that you really need someone right now, but all your friends are busy or not responding, but you’re scared you’ll do something destructive if you’re left alone now, yet you don’t want to tell them that cause it sounds manipulative, so now you’re kinda just like ????? or am i like way more fucked up than i thought
