Change of mindset - July 23rd 2025, 10:34 PM

This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

So, since I was ten, I've been self-harming, restricting food intake, and talking negatively about myself. I'm having a change of mindset. This is the only body I'm going to get, so why spend the time I have with it punishing it? I'm going to start eating healthy, working out(not because I hate my body, but so I can grow to love it), and I'm going to quit self-harming. The song 'Hi Hater' by Maino is one of my strongest inspirations right now to get that change of mindset. My dad also told me just to come back to school hotter than when I left, make people's heads turn, leave a mark. Just an hour ago I was crying because I wasn't pretty, and now I'm convincing myself I can just get prettier, not that I'm not already. And to those who struggle with body-imaging, it doesn't matter what you look like, as long as you treat yourself like you're you...that's what matters<3

This sounds great! It’s definitely good to do things for your own health in a non disordered way. I hope all goes well.

It doesn’t mean it has to be the end of everything! The fact you had hopeful thoughts at all shows there’s something to work towards.
