You're feeling bad about my body.
Your body is not the problem — the comparison machine is. Nobody's feed is real, including the people you're comparing yourself to.
Things that actually help
- 01
Unfollow every account that makes you feel worse. Today, not later.
- 02
Talk to yourself the way you'd talk to a friend standing in that mirror.
- 03
Focus on what your body does for you, not what it looks like.
- 04
Move because it feels good, not as a punishment for eating.
- 05
Eat regularly. Skipping meals makes your mood and your thoughts worse.
