Your life is worth so much more than whatever body part you are so furiously fighting. @ -Callie Bowld
Stop hating yourself for everything you aren't. Start loving yourself for everything you are.
You are beautiful. Never forget that. In a world of 7.1 billion people, there is only one you. Take care of you because the world needs you.
When you starve yourself you feed your demons.
Don't let your mind bully your body.
Your body loves you. Love it back.
Feeling guilty for eating when you are hungry is like feeling for breathing when your lungs need oxygen. We've literally been taught to be ashamed or our basic human needs. Refuse to feel the shame. You are allowed to eat.
You are enough.
Weight does not dictate your worth.
You deserve to enjoy food. You deserve to enjoy exercise. And you deserve to have a life that's not revolved around those two things. @ -Zahra Biabani
This is a reminder to take a deep breath and keep going.
You are so much stronger than you think you are.
If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies, how very different our ideas of beauty would be.
Nothing good will ever come out of hating yourself.
You are so much more than a body.
No food will ever hurt you as much as an unhealthy mind. @ -Brittany Burgunder
Losing weight is not your life's work, and counting calories is not the call of your soul. You surely are destined for something much greater.
Hating your body will never get you as far as loving it will.
Mirrors are just glass and you are more than that.
This is your reminder that loving yourself is a journey, take it one step at a time.
Stop trying to fill the emptiness inside you with food.
Recovery is a battle. A daily battle.
Beauty starts in your head, not in your mirror.
Make peace with the mirror and watch your reflection change.
Recovery is hard. Regret is harder. @ -Brittany Burgunder
Your eating disorder thoughts will be strong. But you are stronger.

I'd rather be strong and happy than be what society thinks is thin and perfect and be miserable. @ -Demi Lovato
Our minds distort our mirrors.
Be kind to everyone, including yourself.
Healthy looks different on every single person and every single body.  Recovery is a process rooted in the idea that I love myself too much to keep myself from my best. Fuel your body to be capable, not crippled.
You have to make peace with food. You have to learn, and program your brain to understand: your body needs food. @ -Callie Bowld
I am angry that I starved my brain and that I sat shivering in my bed at night instead of dancing or reading poetry or eating ice cream or kissing a boy... @ -Laurie Halse Anderson
Don't be ashamed of your story. It will inspire others.
Don't think about how long it will take to heal or recover. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Recovery is not about figuring anything out; it's about having the will to take another step toward love.
Beauty is in the way you hold yourself. It is how you treat people. The way you love. It's self acceptance. Beauty is in your soul.
My worst days in recovery are better than the best days in relapse. @ -Kate Le Page

This is you reminder that your are not good or bad based on what you eat.
Recovery is full of ups and downs. There is no such thing as a linear life. But you can always turn your setbacks into setups to come back stronger. @ -Brittany Burgunder
Keep these concepts in mind: You've failed many times, although you don't remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim. Don't worry about failure. My suggestion to each of you: Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try. @ -Sherman Finesilver
Recovery means taking off the mask you have been hiding under and facing life, being assertive, and being able to say 'no' to things you don't want to do.  It's also about accepting myself for who I am not and what I was and moving on – a life of fulfillment, happiness, and love.
I'm here to tell you that if you get broken, it's possible to put yourself back together. I'm here to tell you that if you get lost, it's possible that a light will come, dancing, on the horizon, to lead you home. @ -Nick Lake
Today, know that God is there with you through all of it. The good days and the hard days.
It is called a disorder for a reason. Because it makes no rational sense. It's completely counterproductive and, the saddest part, it is also dissatisfying and damaging. @ -Callie Bowld
The food you choose to eat or not eat does not make you good or bad.
Hold yourself back, or heal yourself back together. You decide. @ -Brittany Burgunder
There is no magic cure, no making it all go away forever. There are only small steps upward; an easier day, an unexpected laugh, a mirror that doesn't matter anymore. @ -Laurie Halse Anderson
To me, beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are. @ -Ellen DeGeneres
Breaking an addiction is never easy, but it can be done. You are stronger than that red-faced demon screaming in the bathroom. @ -Callie Bowld
Just because something is familiar, doesn't mean it's safe. And just because something feels safe, doesn't mean it's good for you. @ -Brittany Burgunder
Imagine if we obsessed about the things we love about ourselves.
