I eased myself into a healthy lifestyle gradually. Making yourself eat three meals a day off the bat is gonna be hard af. What I did was I started by just eating one snack per day. When I became comfortable and consistent with that I started eating one meal a day, then two, then three, then three with snacks. I still have off days and miss meals sometimes but I have a far more healthy relationship with food now. I also am an artist, so drawing my body with reference helped me see myself properly

Tbh I think the part I’m missing is the creative outlet. I try to stick to my meal plan but my self perception holds me back. Thank you for your advice btw and congrats on your recovery

Tysm. Might sound kinda weird but ask others what they think of you. Usually they have a far more accurate and kind view of you.
