Idk if I can really talk abt this in depth but part of it is like. Trying to be ok with being fat. You might not ever be. But if you stop thinking about it like it’s the worst case scenario, you engage more with body neutrality (not positivity - although that is a solid ground, neutrality is usually a more achievable goal). Look at fat influencers or models just going about their lives and train yourself to like, be ok with it. It’s kind of a fake it till you make it thing.

I agree with #1. To add, I highly recommend looking at art or graphic novels/animation with fat bodies. Fat bodies aren’t bad, and they can exist in beautiful ways just as much as skinny bodies. Maybe positivity is far out of reach, but knowing fat people are everywhere and valued equally by many. Also consider, would you rather be in pain and hyper vigilant on food, or be at peace w a chubby/fat body? Easier said than done, best of luck making your body a home

If you’re a girl I like to think about how men want us to be skinny and screw that my body will do what it wants. But seriously, ed culture rn is absolutely horrible. There is nothing wrong with being fat as long as you feel healthy and take care of yourself. I understand this is really hard and every day won’t be great but just keep reminding yourself that you’re literally gorgeous and the weight you gain in recovery is making your body stronger and more capable of living a happy life <3
