ED and Body Acceptance

Ed does not want me to accept my body. He is constantly saying mean things about my body and I believe him. He is the one that calls me worthless, fat, ugly, etc... I am

the one that believes him. How are we supposed to have positive body image if ED keeps saying negative things about out bodies? It is truly one second at a time some days.

Today, I didn’t listen to ED. I went to the store and brought new shorts. I had to because my old ones were getting tight. I have been struggling the last few months and have gained weight. Since I am obese, gaining weight is not a good thing. I have been so hard on myself and can’t seem to control my eating like I did after treatment. I am also not eating three meals a day like I should. ED is loving this struggle and he added my issues with body image to everything. He keeps telling me that I am fat and worthless. Today was no different. However, I was able to tell him to be quiet. I went to buy bigger clothes, with the support of my husband, and I was able to do it without putting myself down. I am very grateful that today I was able to Kick ED’s Butt.🐷
