Loving Yourself

It's important to tell yourself that you love yourself and that you're beautiful on a daily basis. 

Telling yourself that you're beautiful, amazing, stunning, that you look great works wonders for your self esteem. It also allows you over time to feel more positive about yourself and you will learn to love yourself.

Before you leave the house; look in the mirror. The first thing you may see are all of your "flaws" such as messy hair, bad skin. But look past those and remind yourself of all of your good points. Such as nice eyes, teeth, hair, make-up. Stop and remind yourself that you are beautiful, you're amazing and you're an individual. You are not your flaws and you're worth so much more!!!!

Especially when suffering from an eating disorder, your self esteem is rock bottom and the way you view yourself is distorted. In recovery it's your time to change this around and help build up your self esteem. Believe me, it makes you feel amazing when you can tell yourself positive things and believe them, for the rest of the day you just feel great and positive about yourself. 

It will take time to change your way of thinking about yourself and may even take weeks or months but it's important to keep doing it in order to feel amazing about yourself!!
