Sometimes even going from seeing yourself in the mirror and feeling “Bleh, I don’t like this,” to “Hey, an improvement!” can be the beginning of a better day. And it’s little steps like that which add up. We try to be body positive and feel comfortable with who we are, but nobody wants to look at themselves and feel bad, and our society makes us all feel ugly and unworthy all the time.
Sometimes it’s also just nice to have something off your plate (ha!) like “Okay, now I don’t have to stress out over trying to eat less.” As dumb as it sounds, even mentally it’s a lot of weight to carry around all the time.
