Hey! Check out my artwork!

Would you talk to your best friend or loved one like how you talk to yourself?
How do you think they'd react if you did?
It's your body! It's been with you your whole life and it's not going anywhere now. Surely that makes it the bestest friend you'll ever have.
It does amazing things for you and continues to do amazing things, even when you starve it and treat it so badly. Learn to love it and accept it for the way it is.
Accept that it doesn't look like that fake picture in that magazine, or that photo you saw, or like that person you saw walking down the street. Why?
Because no one else's body is like your body. It is the only one in the world. It is rare. It is unique. And most of all, it is beautiful.
Again crediting my therapist Kathryn for this.

Happy New Year motherfuckers

2019 was a year of recovery: from mental illness, eating disorder and injury. That recovery will be ongoing.

It was also a year of growing wisdom and strength that will continue to grow well beyond the new year. 

May I continue to grow as a person and may myself and all of my loved ones find peace inside of themselves, and may everyone learn to love themselves just as they are.

If only going on a diet were this simple

If someone showed you this before you decided to go on a fad diet, would you go through with it?
If you are unhappy, it is easy to blame your body, when in reality, it could be something far more complicated happening in your life that you have failed to deal with.
If you're having a hard time, don't try to deal with it alone. Speak to someone you trust.
PS. I have to credit my therapist Kathryn for this, and I sincerely hope it changes somebody's mind.
