Maybe it’s just me being an artist, but I’ve seen/ been around so many nude paintings. I just see woman’s bodies as beautiful art pieces- not in an objectifying way, but in an admirable way. Like I’ve seen beautiful art of woman all shapes and sizes. It kinda put things in a new perspective for me and made me admire my curves and my tummy. I just tell myself that I’m like the woman in those paintings too, a work of art.
other than all the affirmations and mental steps, try to make sure you wear clothes that fit you. i always find that when i gain weight and try to wear my old clothes i just end up hating the way i look. but whenever i put on clothes that fit me and feel good i don’t feel so bad anymore
