order. Some people turn to food to comfort themselves after they’ve seen too many images of people that they think look better than they do. Some embark in dangerous food restrictive practices that can compromise one’s nutrition and create malnutrition.
Slash Time with Your Devices! Cut back on how much time you spend online or on your
phone checking social media and posting pictures. In the treatment of eating disorders, curbing this type of negative influence and imagery is essential.
Evading Online Pressure Skip over sites or articles that make you feel bad about yourself
or question how you look. Consider taking a time out from social media and focusing on you and the real world around you.
A Positive Circle
Think Positive, Feel Positive Spend time each day creating a positive mindset for yourself,
whether that’s through meditation, reading positive quotes, exercis- ing, or repeating an encouraging mantra to yourself. Seek counsel- ing for depression and anxiety if they are keeping you from feeling your best.
Be Nice to Yourself
Tending to the Physical Needs Do your best to create a body you feel comfortable in. Wear
what makes you feel good. Engage in daily exercise to reduce stress, release endorphins, and manage weight. If body image has become an issue, counseling for eating disorders can help you get on the road to recovery and effectively meet your physical needs.
Saying ‘no!’ to Self-Destructive Behavior Make it a point to do things each day that make you feel good inside and out. Volunteer. Play with your kids. Disconnect from the digital world for a while. Skip the crash diets and crazy workout routines. Find a balance that works for you and your body’s needs.
You are in control of how you see your body, so don’t let
anyone take that away from you. Strive to keep a positive mindset and love yourself for who you are. Find a program that focuses on the treatment of eating disorders if negative thoughts and behaviors have become problematic.
