I Want To See Me Be Brave ♥: ༺♥ Tout body est un bon body #5

༺♥༻ Self-Care ༺♥༻

"Love of self: Setting boundaries. Knowing where you end and the rest of the world begins because if you lose sight of that line you lose yourself and become a reflection of what everyone else wants you to be."
- Cardine Martinez

"When we give up dieting, we take back something we were often too young to know we had given away: our own voice."
- Geneen Roth, Recovery Truths

"The quality of my recovery is proportional to the quality of my surrender."
- Recovery Truths

"How I Recovered: I changed my thinking from 'Me VS Food' to 'Me VS Eating Disorder'."
- A Recovered Life | Tumblr

"I started doing it to maintain control, but it took control of me instead."
- Self-Harm-Facts | Tumblr

"No person has the right to condemn you on how you repair your heart or how long you choose to grieve, because no one knows how much you're hurting. Recovering takes time, and everyone heals at his or her own pace."
- Lessons Learned in Life

"An eating disorder is like a weed: if you cut it off at the top, given the right circumstances, it can grow back. But if you go down and clear out its roots, it can be eradicated."
- Anita Johnston, Ph.D.

"The goal is to say 'I deserve better' and mean it. To say 'I give up' and believe it. To say 'I'm moving on' and do it."

"Hunger is not a virtue. Eating is not a sin."

"You don’t have to explain yourself to people who don’t want to understand you."
- Infelice

"Why doesn’t anyone discuss how society’s perceived ownership of the female body extends into parents who dictate everything their daughters do? Not letting your daughters express themselves in how they dress, talk, wear their hair, or whether or not they wear makeup just gives them the idea, from an extremely young age, that their body is not their own and they must please others by making it look how they view best. Learn that before you have children."
- Selective Avant-garde

"Today I choose to feel the pain of sitting through a feeling, the terror in realizing that I am powerless over so many things, and the joy in knowing that I do not experience these things alone. I fight my feet when they beg me to run and battle my mind in its attempts to protect me from remembering the things I worked so hard to forget. Today is a constant war for healing. It is filled with promise and potential."
- Renee Yohe

"When it comes to eating disorders, trust is a big issue in our bodies. We never know what’s real vs. what’s not. Am I really hungry? Or am I feeling a difficult emotion? Is this really what I look like? Because everyone is telling me it’s not. And the list goes on… When we restrict- our bodies lose their trust for us. So the next time we go to eat, we end up bingeing. Our bodies don’t trust they’ll ever be fed again so they’re going to try to stock up. We then, in turn, lose trust for our bodies because they’ve taken over control and done something we feel guilty about. It turns into this never-ending cycle. And we’re the ones that have to break it. This is just one example… "
- Recovery is Beautiful

"Reduce cellulite.
Be gone dry skin.
Vanish unwanted facial hair.
Diminish stretch marks.
Fade age spots.
Eliminate feminine odor.
Lose weight.
Dissolve belly fat.
Erase wrinkles...
I think someone wants me to disappear."
- Guerrilla Girls

"Treat yourself like you would a best friend, treat yourself like you would a sister or brother and treat yourself like you would your future son or daughter because you wouldn’t want them to feel like they’re not enough, you wouldn’t want them to crumble to their knees in tears at the sight of their own reflection and you wouldn’t want them to suffer in silence, so, treat yourself like you’re a person who deserves love and care because that’s what you are."

"The only weight you need to shed is the one parked heavily on your shoulders, screaming ‘You should not exist’ because of your size."
- Bebelagua

"The problem is that you don't just choose recovery. You have to keep choosing recovery, over and over and over again. You have to make that choice 5-6 times each day. You have to make that choice even when you really don't want to. It's not a single choice, and it is not easy."
- My Illness Defines Me | Tumblr

"You are still you whether you are 190 or 90 pounds. Your soul still lives in the same fucking house, no matter how you batter and abuse it. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you can go back to living."
- Something Everyone In Recovery Has To Accept (via sadlittlewords)

"Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with Acceptance can there be recovery."
- 'Dumbledore'

"Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are."
- Rachel Naomi Remen

"If you want to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure, just spend your life trying to do something that is not right for you. It is just like trying to wear shoes that don’t fit."
- Joyce Meyer

"Take time to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you."
- Maya Angelou
