. Losing weight doesn't fix negative body image Manipulating things on the outside, doesn't change anything on the inside Whether or not you love yourself or your body Has nothing to do with a number in a box on the bathroom floor & everything to do with the thoughts inside your head If you don't love your body at the weight you are now, you won't love your body at any other weight, either . I used to think I would love myself & be happier if I lost weight I thought looking thin in any outfit was the solution to all of my problems & that losing weight would bring me confidence & allow me to finally stop crying in front of the mirror But I lost weight & nothing changed I hated myself just as much at the lower weight as I did at the higher one . Negative body image stems from your mind, not the appearance of your body The cause is internal, not external . Self-love doesn't come from weight loss, surgery or a new hairdo It's comes from accepting that you'll never be perfect, while simultaneously realizing that you already are Because if you don’t love & accept yourself 100% You'll NEVER have the perfect body You'll never be small enough Or smart enough Or pretty enough Or fit enough You’ll never love yourself “when...” if you don’t love yourself NOW . . #bodyimageissues #bikinibodyguide #edrecoverywarrior #caloriecounting #calorierestriction #paleodiet #holisticnutrition #howtoloseweight #weightlosstips #fitfood #macrocounting #IIFYM #edrecovery #eatingdisorder #bbgprogress #miarecovery #amenorrhea #rawvegan #dietadvice #prorecovery #veganfitness #mindbodyspirit #breakingfreefromed #intuitiveeating #fitspo  #selflovejourney #detoxdiet #selfacceptance #anarecovery #thesoulfillmentapproach (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRQysSANlg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yb17luv89jvo
