🌸 SELF AFFIRMING STATEMENTS 🌸

I might have some faults, but I’m still a good person.

I care about myself and other people.

I accept who I am.

I love myself.

I’m a good person, not a mistake.

I’m good and nobody is perfect.

I embrace both my good and bad qualities.

Today I take responsibility for everything I do and say.

I’m becoming a better person every day.

I’m a sensitive person who experiences the world differently.

Each day I do the best I can.

Even though I forget sometimes, I’m still a good person.

Even though bad things happened to me in the past, I’m still a good person.

Even though I’ve made mistakes in the past, I’m still a good person.

I’m here for a reason.

There’s purpose to my life, even though I might not always see it.

I’m so honored that some of you feel comfortable confiding in me about your struggles, but please remember that I am not a professional, and I am easily triggered. Please reach out to trained therapists on the NEDA support website or text line (741741) if you have concerns or are in crisis.

You deserve to eat a normal amount because you are alive today, but if you need help remembering the signs that your body gives you, here are some reminders:

-eat when you feel anxious for no reason

-when your stomach growls

-if you get a headache

-if you suddenly feel very tired

-if you feel off balance

i want to talk about how the culturally enforced ideas of thinness as the epitome of androgyny, thinness as the epitome of femininity, & “maybe not thinness but definitely a lack of curves that can sometimes only be obtained by thinness” as the epitome of masculinity poison our thinking as trans people & contribute to an overwhelming epidemic of eating disorders in our community disproportionate to even the epidemic in wider sociey

Stop. Before you finish that “But-”/”What if-” just stop.

You deserve recovery.

There is no exclusion to this statement.

eating more won’t kill me

eating more might make me gain weight

and that’s okay
