By choosing healthy over skinny, you are choosing self love over self- judgment. By doing so you are choosing yourself, you're mental and physical health, and your confidence over the world’s preconceived ideals and pressures. When you’re healthy, your skin glows, your hair is healthier, your mind is more positive, you think more clearly, and your self-esteem is much higher. Choose you, not society’s/media’s opinions on what’s beautiful. Healthy is what’s beautiful and wanted, always.
Sometimes self harm comes from numbness. Instead of thinking the person is crazy, getting angry or saying words that can cause more harm than comfort, the most important thing is to understand the reason behind it, to make the person feel understood (even if you don’t understand it yourself). That’s what empathy is and it should be applied even more in situations that seem extreme.

READ TIPS AND ADVISE FROM THE COMMUNITY
ON MENTAL HEALTH AND NEGATIVE BODY IMAGE
“Learn about nutrition, listen to other people's experiences and try to learn from them.You might think that you don't have the "perfect" body ,which honestly doesn't exist, and that only when you lose weight you'll be happy but if you wait for that you'll never be happy because there's always going to be something that you see as a flaw.Also it will help talking to someone and consulting a nutritionist until you are able to eat again properly without

“Recovery is absolutely not linear. A relapse doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it’s all part of the recovery process. It’s so important not to compare where you are to others. You are on two completely separate journeys, and that’s ok. You don’t have to be where they are right now. Trust your process and know that no two recoveries look the same.”
"It’s important to talk to
someone who you think will not only understand the situation but you equally. Even if sometimes you don’t want to dwell on something by talking at length about it or not looking for advise. Someone who hears what you’re saying is more than enough sometimes and getting everything out that’s been bottled up in your head is very important. Once it’s all out you feel lighter and that’s all you need at times. Otherwise you just go mad.”
