I find it incredibly difficult to love my body, I spoke to my therapist yesterday about how I had started posting about body image as well as mental health related stuff and she said “body imagine is heavily tied in with mental health and can make such a big difference to our mental wellbeing once we realise that” It’s only recently that I have started to realise that for myself, hating my body has caused me years and years of depression, so on top of dealing with borderline personality disorder I have also been dealing with disordered eating. I don’t have an eating disorder, I will never claim to but I have taken part in some awful diets, I’ve restricted my body of what it has needed, I’ve binged to the point of excruciating pain due to the depression that comes with restriction. I’ve drank alcohol as a way of self medicating in the past and been thankful when I have thrown up and seen it as a way to lose weight, that’s not a healthy way of thinking and I’m sorry to my body for all I have put it through. Those kinds of thoughts still arise at times and at times I still dislike my body but I’m working on it. I’m sick of feeling like I have to shrink myself for society’s standards, So I’m making a vow to myself to accept, honour and love my rolls 💜 Bra is Bridget balconette by @curvykate from @brastop #honouryourself #loveyourself #bodyconfidence #bodylove #bodyacceptance #honouryourcurves #bodypositive #bodypositivity #bodyposi #babesunite #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #disorderedeating #dietculture #dietculturedropout #effyourbeautystandards #effyourdiet #mentalwellbeing #brastop #curvykate #fatbabe #chubbybabe #learningtolovemyself #iamworthy
